Perimeter Manager for IM includes effective and accurate filtering to stop:
- IM-borne Worms
- IM-borne Virusses
- IM-borne Spam (known as SPIM)
- Undesirable Comments
- Unauthorized File Transfers
A key component of the IT Controls is Identity Management and knowing who has access to which resources and for what purpose. To support your policies, Postini's Perimeter Manager for IM includes the capability to tie the anonymous screen names to the known corporate email identity and to set policies and permissions at the corporate, sub-organization or end-user level.
Postini Perimeter Manager for IM blocks IM threats before they reach corporate networks. It shares the same robust technology framework and granular administrative services with the rest of the Postini integrated message management platform.
IM is rapidly becoming a target for hackers and spammers because it is ubiquitous and unsecured. New IM threats and lack of security and controls expose the enterprise to costly vulnerabilities. Users can unknowingly activate worms by clicking malicious URLs from spoofed buddies. Hackers can steal corporate directories by scanning enterprise contact lists. Corporate data can be leaked via unauthorized file transfers, and there are no checks for content compliance of IM messages or ability to archive instant messages for regulatory or legal issues.
Postini Perimeter Manager for IM stops IM-bound worms, viruses, and spim from reaching your network via public IM clients. Administrators can also set IM access policies, control outbound IM filetransfers, filter conversations for inappropriate or sensitive content, and archive instant message sessions for later searching and retrieval. Like other Postini services, Postini Perimeter Manager for IM is fast to deploy and offers granular, sophisticated administrative capabilities through Postini’s integrated message management platform.
