Application Visibility Report

Note
For detailed information on Application Visibility, see the ‘Understanding Application Visibility and Control’ chapter in AsyncOS for Cisco Web Security Appliances User Guide.

The Web > Reporting > Application Visibility page allows you to apply controls to particular application types within the Security Management appliance and Web Security appliance.

Not only does application control gives you more granular control over web traffic than just URL filtering, for example, it gives you more control over the following types of applications, and application types:

  • Evasive applications, such as anonymizers and encrypted tunnels.
  • Collaboration applications, such as Cisco WebEx, Facebook, and instant messaging.
  • Resource intensive applications, such as streaming media.
