This document summarizes findings from a report on application usage in organizations across Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam. It finds that on average organizations had 20 social networking applications like Facebook, which consumed 73% of social networking bandwidth. Facebook was dominant but Zynga games were used more heavily than globally. Organizations also averaged 18 browser-based filesharing applications and 140 applications used only port 80, while 22% of bandwidth was consumed by 280 applications not using port 80.

3. Average number of social networking
applications per organization?
A total of 50 different social networking applications were
found in 83% of the 23 participating organizations with an
average of 20 found on each network.
5. Based on the percentage of social networking bandwidth
consumed in the 23 participating organizations, Facebook is
consuming 73% of the bandwidth.
Rest of ASEAN: Malaysia,
Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam
6. Facebook dominates. While Facebook is the dominant
application in rest of ASEAN, action oriented uses, mainly
Zynga games, are used more heavily than they are globally.
8. Average number of browser-based
filesharing applications per organization?
A total of 32 different browser-based filesharing
applications were found in 83% of the 23 participating
organizations with an average of 18 in each.
Rest of ASEAN: Malaysia,
Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam
9. Browser-based filesharing use cases: work or
entertainment. Both uses have a common set of business
and security risks that organizations must address.
10. Rest of ASEAN: Malaysia,
Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam
11. The number of applications
using Port 80 (tcp/80) only?
The number of applications that ONLY use Port 80 is 140 or
21% of the 657 applications found in the participating
organizations.

Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam

Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam
13. Percentage of total bandwidth consumed
by applications not using tcp/80?
22% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 280 (43%
of 657) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.
Rest of ASEAN: Malaysia,
Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam
14. Port 80 only security is shortsighted. The common
perception is that Port 80 (tcp/80) is where all the traffic and all
the problems are. A port 80 emphasis is an absolute
requirement; but too much focus is shortsighted.
