Secure Computing Launches IronIM
Secure Instant Messaging Gateway
Instant messaging presents enterprises with a completely new set of threats to network security, bandwidth availability and program compatibility. IM's always-on nature, lack of monitoring tools, known vulnerabilities and multiple available protocols make it a prime target for hackers and others with unscrupulous intentions. To help enterprises combat these threats, Secure Computing developed the IronIM instant messaging security appliance.
IronIM Overview
The Secure Computing IronIM instant messaging security appliance is the first and only solution that integrates policy to secure, log, monitor and encrypt enterprise IM communications. IronIM provides administrators with increased control from a single management platform to eliminate risks from IM-borne threats, ensure compliance with various industry and government regulations, and monitor for information leakage or other policy violations.
IronIM supports multiple instant messaging standards (including AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and corporate IM solutions including Microsoft LCS and IBM SameTime) and does not require deployment of a new IM client.
Integrated Policy Enforcement
IronIM offers a simple, easy-to-use GUI interface for administrators to set and enforce defined corporate policies company-wide, LDAP group, or per-user level. IronIM's flexible policy management features allow administrators to determine which IM protocols should be allowed or blocked, and whether IM file transfers should be permitted.
Automatic Encryption
Secure communications are critical in the business environment and required by certain government regulations. IronIM is the only gateway solution that automatically encrypts intra-company and inter-company conversations, files and content transparent to the IM service, without requiring end-user involvement.
Protection from Inbound Threats
IronIM is a hardened gateway security appliance, providing the most effective protection against inbound messaging threats before they enter the corporate network.
Archiving
IronIM monitors and logs all instant messaging traffic. While other IM security solutions simply create a log of conversations that have taken place, IronIM captures and stores the entire conversation and allows administrators to search historical conversations using keywords via the easy-to-use interface. IronIM's interface also allows administrators to set granular archiving policies to ensure that corporate IM guidelines are followed.
