Securing Unified Communications: From Consumer- Based IM to Enterprise Collaboration and Beyond.
Internet communications have changed. The user-initiated traffic of real-time communications has created a far more complex environment than simple email exchange and web browsing - an environment that is dominated by highly evasive greynets such as IM, Skype, P2P and web conferencing. Employees - especially the younger generation -introduce these consumer-grade applications into the corporate environment to gain the same efficiencies of real-time communications in the workplace as they've grown to expect in their personal lives. But these applications circumvent existing security infrastructure, making it difficult for IT administrators to gain visibility and control. FaceTime shows how you can retain that visibility and control.
