Content is delivered as secure internet traffic. Hence the risk of content transmitting
a virus or other internet nasty is very low
Content is created by administrator(s) within
their own network (presumed to be safe and secure)
The Snap Client, located on the users computer,
initiates communication with the Snap Server located
with the Snap datacentre – the return communication
back to the Snap Client has therefore originated
from a ‘trusted source’ – the users own computer
The only firewall ports needed to be opened to
allow Snap Content to pass through are ports 80
(for HTTP) and 443 (for HTTPS). It is commonplace
for these ports to be already open in order to
provide general internet access to users within
the organisation, hence there is no requirement
for existing firewall rules to be altered.
Low IT commitment and risk
A big advantage of the Snap Solution
is that the IT risk is extremely low due to the fact
the main ‘engine’ of the solution is hosted externally
and only web traffic is delivered into the organization
