Instant Messaging, since its inception, has always presented a security problem to the many businesses that take advantage of this fine method of communicating within the company and to outsiders. Instant Messaging networks such as Yahoo, MSN Messenger and AOL, certainly provide powerful productivity benefits to companies utilising these applications.
ScanSafe can now provide companies and employees with protection against the multiple risks associated with the use of these uncontrolled public IM networks.
ScanSafe now provide the world's first managed security service for high-performance scanning of Web and Instant Messaging traffic.
The IDC reports that more than 28 million business users regularly use Instant Messaging and send at least one billion messages per day.
These messages are largely uncontrolled and there has been a 600% increase in the ScanSafe Instant Messaging activity in the period 2005/2006.
Companies without Managed IM networks run a significant security risk.
