Explanation

In a Network Risk Report from Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC), applications are ranked by risk level. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol that poses the highest risk for unauthorized and uninspected network use because it can bypass traditional security controls, transfer large volumes of potentially malicious or copyrighted data, and the decentralized nature of P2P traffic makes deep inspection difficult. BitTorrent traffic is notoriously hard to control and represents an immediate threat to network integrity and compliance. The other applications (Xunlei, SSH, Hotspot Shield) may also pose risks, but BitTorrent ranks highest for uninspected bulk data transfer risk in this context.
