FaceTime Communications Releases Version 9.1 of IMAuditor

FaceTime Communications announced the release of an improved version of IMAuditor. The new version is expected to help businesses derive benefits such as fault-tolerance, more security and a compliant infrastructure from theirIBM Lotus Sametime and Microsoft Office Communication Server deployments.

IMAuditor 9.1 enables organizations to put Unified Communications (UC) and enterprise instant messaging deployments to optimum use by offering regulatory and corporate norm compliance like logging, archiving and retrieval of data from Web conferencing.

Further instant messages and attachments are protected from outside interference on public networks due to the deep compliance protection offered by IMAuditor as there is a growing concern regarding instant messages. FaceTime IMAuditor secures and manages instant messaging in enterprises within the network of an organization. It operates from the LAN and offers high security to corporate data from threats like spyware, viruses and worms besides from leakage of critical information from within the company.

The October 2007 survey titled, “Greynets in the Enterprise: Third Annual Survey of Trends, Attitudes and Impacts,” was commissioned by FaceTime and conducted by NewDiligence a market research firm.

The Greynets survey found that 56 percent of organizations will be launching UC solutions in the near future. It also reports that most IT managers confirmed that public instant messaging was in use by employees wherever enterprise instant messaging was available.

“Unified communications suites are becoming integral to the way employees work today. But IT managers are finding that their UC rollouts don’t significantly reduce employee use of consumer-oriented Web 2.0 applications and public instant message networks,” said Frank Cabri, vice president of marketing and product management for FaceTime Communications.

“Security and compliance controls must extend across all UC modalities in this heterogeneous environment, both enterprise-sanctioned and consumer-oriented,” added Cabri.

IMAuditor 9.1 (IMA 9.1) includes logging and archiving of instant messages and Web conferencing conversations and attachments besides blocking or allowing audio and video transmissions. IMA 9.1 also supports Sametime 8.0, VMware andReuters messaging 7. It features redundant connector capability for OCS and ability to import employee identities.

Durov: The phone of the richest man in the world was hacked through WhatsApp.

The founder of "VKontakte" and Telegram Pavel Durov said that back in November 2019 he warned about the vulnerability of the WhatsApp application, through which hackers hacked the smartphone of the richest man on the planet Jeff Bezos. Durov wrote about it in his Telegram-channel. Earlier, the company Facebook, which owns WhatsApp, noted that the businessman's mobile phone was hacked because of vulnerabilities in the operating system from Apple. At the same time, Durov is convinced that the problem is not iOS. " WhatsApp in its marketing campaign uses the words 'end-to-end encryption' as a magic spell, which itself should ensure the security of all communications.
