The
popularity of real-time communication applications have grown rapidly within
both business and consumer markets. The demand for instant communication
between individuals has reached a new level to include not only instant
messaging, but integrated video, voice, and collaboration communication.
These applications, once popular with a mainly young audience, have emerged
as key components of a productive business landscape. Instant Messaging has
eclipsed email as the preferred tool for quick, real-time, electronic
communication.
The emergence of this new form of communication brings with it a new set
of concerns and risks if left unchecked. The issues involved with enabling
real-time communication applications within a business enterprise today is
that Internet-based messaging applications do not provide the level of
security or meet compliance policies such as HIPPA or Sarbanes-Oxley that
businesses require to protect corporate data and communications.
