Risk Management of Instant Messaging
Part 1 - Six Control Measures Every Business Can Follow
By Paul Ritter, Vice President, Interactive Media Strategies
Originally Recorded: 10/06
Instant messaging is evolving into a key component of advanced platforms that enable streamlined enterprise communication via the Web. There are now an estimated 370 million corporate users of instant messaging worldwide, and the number continues to grow at a significant rate. Instant messaging can improve operational efficiencies and increase productivity but it can also put the company at risk-without secure IM, corporations cannot control what enters or leaves the company via IM.
This webcast examines what types of threats and security risks companies face when instant messaging is used within a firm without proper management and control measures in place. This webcast also outlines the steps and security measures that companies should take to minimize risks and maximize the benefits available from deploying IM and real-time communications successfully.

Risk Management of Instant Messaging
Part 2 - The Increasing Importance of Compliance Programs and Archiving Solutions
By Paul Ritter, Vice President, Interactive Media Strategies
Originally Recorded: 12/06
This webcast examines the need for companies to view compliance efforts as more than just a means to avoid fines, but
rather as part of an overall strategy for managing a range of risks posed to the firm by
uncontrolled electronic communications such as instant messaging. True and effective
compliance requires a three-pronged approach involving both physical controls and
administrative measures. The three prongs to compliance are:
- Develop effective policies and procedures that address the specific requirements mandated by the compliance regulations
- Enforce the policies and procedures
- Deploy technology that automates the process of monitoring.
