This white paper is the second in a four-part series on managing the risks associated with instant messaging (IM) in corporate environments. It describes the second phase of IMlogic's four-phased approach to bringing IM under corporate control: implementing effective IM threat protection. The paper outlines six concrete measures you can take to give your enterprise immediate protection against viruses and other IM-borne malware, and explains how the advanced capabilities that are built into IMlogic's IM Manager can protect your systems from both known and emerging threats.
