Recent studies have shown:

  • Over 50% of Facebook users have encountered social malware
  • Twitter is being used for mobile botnets, using tweets for commands
  • Over 70% of organizations say they don’t have the tools to stop social malware

With limited resources and increased pressure to reduce attack vectors, the time has come to take a fresh look at the application control solution landscape.
