I can't speak for this particular product, but the issue of blocking
"illegal" p2p applications seems to be coming up repeatedly. It was
discussed widely at the recent I2 conference in Austin, Texas. I would just
recommend that before any p2p blocking is done for the stated purpose of
stopping illegal file-sharing activities that you consult legal counsel who
is familiar with the safe harbor provisions of DMCA. If you block all p2p
with the stated purpose that you simply don't  support the protocol, you
might be ok. However, if you try to control "illegal" p2p activities, you
might be at risk of losing your safe harbor cover if it is shown that you
miss some of the activities. Many legal interpretations seem to be that
being "hands off" and responding aggressively to complaints is much better
that attempting to control the situation, not being totally effective and
possibly incurring liability as a result.

Has anyone using the application listed below and if so.....has it
performed the way you intended in terms of protecting your network against
peer to peer file sharing, shutting down illegal servers etc.?

Ronald,

Our customers are asking for a special solution that allows them to watch
network behavior and receive an advance warning when something is going
wrong. A way to quickly identify suspicious or malicious activities such as
illegal peer-to-peer files sharing, and takes action.  A way to find
illegal servers and shut them down.  A way to keep worms and viruses from
migrating into their network from infected laptops.

QRadar? from Q1 Labs gives you the surveillance and analysis you need to
take control of your networks.  QRadar delivers a complete network security
and compliance overview that is enhanced by intelligent real-time analysis
of behavior as it is happening.  QRadar profiles the behavior of systems,
applications and users over a university's network.  It learns normal
behavior and instantly recognizes anomalies that are caused by security
breaches, policy violations and internal network misuse.  QRadar quickly
isolates the source of and identifies corrective measures for the critical
dangers that might compromise network performance.


The following press release describes the major institutions of higher
education that Q1 Labs have helped by providing a complete network security
overview.  Also, please see white paper attached.


At your convenience, I would like to show you a live demonstration of our
Network Security Solution on a University Network.
