| Because anonymity poses such a major security
threat for users of public instant messaging, authentication
is perhaps the most important piece of the secure
IM puzzle. IM users recognize the risks for identity-hijacking,
spoofing, information leaks, and other serious security
threats due to lack of authentication, but until
now, it was impossible to bi-directionally authenticate
users of public IM, so companies were forced to
limit use of IM for business purposes.
With the
introduction of IM Caller ID, Presensoft has virtually
eliminated the potential for security threats
caused by anonymity. Companies can now protect
proprietary company data by authenticating internal
and external IM users, because Presensoft IM Caller
ID ensures complete non-repudiation.
