Ipswitch Instant Messaging

Instant Messaging is such a convenient and useful business tool that many users take the initiative to install external, public IM clients such as AOL Instant Messenger and MSN Messenger in their work environment. However, because these free IM services rely on public servers outside the control of the business, they expose the organisation to security and confidentiality risks.
