News < Back Sarbanes Oxley : Technology : Instant Messaging Instant Messaging Security for the Enterprise Only Gateway Solution to Extend Automated Policy, Security and Encryption to Instant Messaging
Powered by CipherTrust?s award-winning policy engine, IronIM is the first 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 block IM-borne threats, help ensure compliance with various industry and government regulations, and monitor for information leakage or other policy violations. Instant messaging presents enterprises with a completely new set of threats to network security, bandwidth availability and program compatibility. Unlike simple software or firewall solutions that independently block content or access, IronIM is the first offering to stop inbound and outbound messaging threats at the gateway, before they enter or leave the corporate network. Additionally, IronIM is the first and only gateway solution to offer automated encryption capabilities for enterprise IM traffic. The launch of CipherTrust?s IronIM is part of the Company?s ongoing strategy to provide unified security protection across multiple messaging protocols. ?Today?s businesses are struggling with more than just threats to their e-mail environment,? said Jay Chaudhry, CipherTrust?s CEO, chairman and founder. ?The real-time, interactive nature of instant messaging makes it a valuable tool for collaborative efforts with business partners, customers and fellow employees, but at the same time it is a significant liability when not properly secured and managed. While other vendors are offering simple firewall or software solutions, CipherTrust?s IronIM enables secure instant messaging protection at the gateway, providing a truly integrated approach to enterprise messaging security.? "As we have grown as a company with more and more staff spread across the world, instant messaging has become an important communication and collaboration medium for our knowledge workers," said Zane Taylor, vice president of operations, Application Networking Group at Citrix Systems, Inc. "CipherTrust?s IronIM allows us to harness the power of instant messaging within the context of a safe and secure overall communications infrastructure.? IronIM supports multiple IM 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. Among the highlighted features, CipherTrust?s IronIM: • Integrates policy enforcement. IronIM offers a simple, easy-to-use GUI interface for administrators to set and enforce defined corporate policies company wide or at LDAP group level. • Encrypts traffic. 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. • Blocks viruses, spam and intrusions. IronIM is a hardened gateway security appliance, providing the most effective protection against inbound messaging threats before they enter the corporate network. Leveraging the Company?s patented, award-winning SpamProfiler? and IntruderDefender? technologies, IronIM carefully dissects each message?utilizing multiple content filtering techniques based on keywords, patterns and customized dictionaries?to identify and stop dynamic threats such as spam, viruses, worms, intrusions and other malicious attacks. • Archives. IronIM monitors and logs all instant messaging traffic. Via its easy-to-use interface, administrators can set archiving policies and search for old content.
