Red Lambda's technology solutions, Integrity and Assurity SRM™, are important weapons in helping organizations complete their file-sharing management and security risk management arsenals. Network administrators are becoming increasingly concerned about trends in file sharing and peer-to-peer protocols and their use on enterprise networks. Not only are these protocols popular carriers of a wide variety of malware, but they represent a catastrophic Information Technology (IT) risk because of their content, which is almost entirely copyrighted or adult in nature. Plus, valuable information can leak out via these protocols representing a substantial risk to an organization's proprietary information. Integrity and Assurity SRM™ help network administrators mitigate all of these issues, even when users attempt to avoid detection by encrypting the files before sending them.
Higher Education
Higher education network issues are characterized by the fall and spring influx of students that bring with them laptops and devices that all need to be registered and granted access to university network resources. The cyclical nature of campus network demands can put a strain on already thin IT resources. Red Lambda's solutions deliver real workflow automation so that administrators can focus on legitimate security needs, not mundane tasks. This sharper focus on real security needs leads to greater uptime and a more productive staff.
Additionally, illegal downloading on college and university networks continues to be an important policy issue and is at the forefront of the agenda of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property where lawmakers are increasing concerned with the digital piracy problem on campus networks. Schools looking for technology partners to help solve this problem will find a flexible and university-friendly solution, as Integrity can uniquely and effectively solve this problem and still provide universities the choices they demand.
This is because Red Lambda's technology was developed at the University of Florida with the needs and concerns school network administrators in mind. Integrity respects privacy and focuses on the behavior of the protocol, not the particular movie or song being shared; administrators can allow the usage of peer-to-peer protocols deemed necessary for academic work and still prohibit file-sharing for non-academic related activities.

Schools can also derive substantial benefit by reducing current and future bandwidth needs associated with file-sharing, and malware and information leakage associated with the use of file-sharing can be controlled.
