What is it?
Current safeguards and security measures do not protect organizations from file disclosures outside of their corporate networks from individuals and organizations entrusted with their sensitive information. This universe is your Extended Enterprise.

Tiversa has found that over 60% of P2P file disclosures come from contractors, suppliers, attorneys, accountants, employees working from home, and even customers of major corporations and government agencies.
Why should I care?
Tiversa monitors global P2P file sharing networks consisting of over 450 million users issuing 1.5 billion searches a day. Each year, however, employees, suppliers, contractors, agents, and customers of major corporations disclose millions of confidential and sensitive organizational and personal files on P2P file sharing networks. Once disclosed, these files are publicly searchable and available. Tiversa records thousands of highly targeted searches for compromised files per day.
Once exposed, Tiversa tests show that individuals will acquire a sensitive business file in less than a day and proliferate files across P2P networks at exponential rates. Even one exposed file has resulted in disastrous PR, legal fines, lost customers, compromised corporate networks, and lost intellectual capital as evidenced by P2P file disclosures by Pfizer and USDOT.
Almost all of Tiversa’s customers employ best practices such as prohibiting the installation of P2P software within corporate networks, using intrusion detection systems to block P2P protocols, and leveraging P2P signature systems to identify installed P2P file sharing software. However, these measures do not protect organizations from file disclosures outside of their corporate networks from individuals and organizations entrusted with their sensitive information.
What can we do?
Tiversa has created intelligence services based on patent pending technologies that can monitor virtually all P2P networks and detect compromised files across the Extended Enterprise of major corporations and government agencies.

What do most enterprises
do today?
Current Industry Safeguards and Their Ineffectiveness Against P2P File Sharing
Policies that Prohibit P2P Use
Employees, suppliers, agents, partners and
customers do not follow
Port-Scanning Hardware
P2P communicates over web traffic (port 80)
Firewalls
P2P is designed
to thwart firewalls
Encryption
Users give access to their PC's when using P2P
Lock-down Computers
Users follow the path of least resistance and work from home PC's, etc.
How do you...
• Control information outside the corporate perimeter?
• Judge policy effectiveness?
• Guard against human error?
