| Authorization and Access |
| Authorization is an integral component of IM security,
because it controls who has access to instant messaging,
and when they are allowed to use it. No security
management program is complete without authorization,
which plays a major role in virus and SPIM control. |
| |
| Virus Protection, Security and SPIM
Control |
| IM systems meet all of the criteria required to
make them an ideal platform for rapidly spreading
computer worms and blended threats: they are ubiquitous;
they provide a communications infrastructure; they
have integrated directories (buddy lists) that can
be used to locate new targets; and they can, in
many cases, be controlled by easily written scripts. |
| |
| As IM becomes more prevalent,
so are its security risks. Presensoft reduces
your IM security risk for internal and
remote users and enhances employee productivity
through the following features: |
 |
Blocks Embedded Web Links. Blocking
embedded web links dramatically reduces the
risk of viruses, worms and spyware from entering
your environment. Protection from infected,
embedded web links will extent beyond your
internal network to remote users--which comprises
the fastest growing subset in the corporate
workplace.
|
|
Blocks Unauthorized Attachments. Blocking
document attachments protects your entire
network from viruses that the missteps of
a single employee could introduce. If needed,
you can also ensure that any file transfer
is done using our Secure File Transfer technology
which encrypts documents over IM with our
448-bit rolling salt, blowfish encryption.
|
|
Blocks SPIM. Presensoft blocks SPIM, the
IM version of SPAM by restricting IM use to
approved users only; this feature enhances
employee productivity by reducing the number
of unsolicited connections received through
IM.
|
|
Restricts Sensitive Data. Presensoft restricts the use of certain content based on keywords, or regular expressions such as social security numbers and credit cards.
|
|
Disclaimers. Company disclaimers and copyright
information can automatically be displayed
before each IM session, protecting your company's
data. |
|
| |
| Restriction and Access Controls |
| Presensoft IM Policy Manager v6 allows you to create and implement a custom policy for managing antivirus and firewall restrictions. You can choose to set alerts or block IM communications with users without updated virus protection.

Presensoft IM Policy Manager gives you complete control over your organization’s authorization policies. |
