WEBSENSE IM ATTACHMENT MANAGER

Websense IM Attachment Manager^™ is an add-on module that enables IT managers to control the sending and receiving of files via instant messaging (IM) clients. Websense Enterprise enables IT managers to establish flexible IM use policies. IM Attachment Manager enhances that capability in two ways: by controlling the security and legal risks posed by the unmanaged use of IM attachments, and helping to optimize IT resource allocation and employee productivity.

RISKS POSED BY INSTANT MESSAGING ATTACHMENTS INCLUDE:

Viruses - Files transferred by IM do not pass through an antivirus shield. A virus in such a file could spread rapidly through the network.

Bandwidth congestion - Heavy use of IM, and especially IM file transfer, can create a heavy load on network bandwidth.

Inappropriate content - Unmanaged use of file transfers can lead to the disclosure of proprietary information or display of inappropriate content such as pornography.
