Kaspersky® Hosted IM Security
Hosted Security for Instant Messaging Applications
Kaspersky Hosted IM Security Overview
Security of IM-Based Communications
Kaspersky Hosted IM Security protects corporate networks from threats
that spread via Internet pagers. Such threats include IM worms, spam
(SPIM), as well as leaks of confidential information via IM clients.
Protection from malicious programs is provided by Kaspersky Anti-Virus
and Kaspersky BitHunt, a system that provides proactive detection of
IT threats.
Managing IM usage
Policy enforcement - the administrator can define user
rights (e.g. contact with internal/external recipients only) and
additional IM services for different groups of employees and times
of day.
Content control - the service monitors IM messages for
keywords/phrases from a list defined by the administrator. Messages
containing keywords can be blocked, and notification sent to the
administrator.
Blocking of Skype VoiIP - the service can be used to restrict
the use of Skype by company employees.
Compliance with Regulations
The option to save and view all incoming or outgoing messages, both
allowed and blocked, as well keyword searching, enables public companies
to comply with legislation that makes it obligatory to save IM messages.
Administrative System and Reports
The service is managed via the secure web portal which allows the administrator
to configure all settings and access reports for different periods (day,
week, month or year) with varying levels of detail:
- hourly reports on incoming/outgoing traffic (the number of messages)
- top 10 users based on the number of incoming/outgoing messages
- top 10 users based on the number of blocked messages
- a detailed report on the use of Internet messengers in the company.
- Any report can be automatically generated and sent to an email
address specified by the administrator.
