Securing IM and P2P Applications for the Enterprise |
|
|
Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are taking over
the workplace as P2P transfers now account for 70% of all Internet traffic
and more than 50% of corporate workstations are running an IM application.
IT professionals face the challenge of managing and securing these
applications, which last year were the point of entry into corporate
networks for 40% of all computer viruses and worms. This book is for
system administrators and security professionals who need to bring now
ubiquitous IM, P2P, and IRC applications under their control. It provides
specific protection strategies for the network and application layers by
identifying and blocking malicious traffic.
