and security risks that organizations must address.

Percentage of total bandwidth consumed by applications not using tcp/80?
54% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 534 (48% of 1,121) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.
54%

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.
