Keeping Bad Stuff Out and Good Stuff In with the Right Unified Communications Tools

Overview: "Real-time" communications, including public instant messaging (IM), enterprise IM, A/V conferencing, voice over IP (VoIP) and mobile messaging are used throughout most enterprises. Whether for business or personal reasons, they often exist in a free-for-all with few constraints on usage. While such communications systems can be of great value to end user and company collaboration, left unmanaged it is impossible to measure and achieve regulatory compliance, or to ensure efficient and appropriate use. Real-time communications bring new dimensions to familiar challenges including appropriate usage, outside threats, sensitive information leaks (inadvertent or otherwise), and compliance concerns.

The consequences are clear. Out-of-control real-time communications can lead to fines for non-compliance, lost reputation, lost intellectual property, and further liability to your organization. IT organizations need a solution to enforce policies and controls to regulate user activity, to protect against inbound threats and outbound data loss, and to archive BlackBerry, enterprise IM and public IM for compliance purposes.
