Other security concerns include lack of security over existing  HTTP/SSL connections, lack of adequate end point security to safeguard the organizations data, lack of security over Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and current solutions failing to integrate with Wimax or 3G.Alkesh lists productivity concerns, those that limit the amount of an individual’s output, as loss through instant messengers, control of who is talking to who such as a worker chatting with your competitor, blocking of specific words such as  "confidential" and "top secret" in outgoing mail and lack of audit logs showing who did what e.g. who introduced a virus into the network. In a productivity survey carried out by  Cyberoam, ICT managers identified Identity management as their top concern, followed by data loss, antivirus, firewall and intrusion prevention in that order.
