IM, used in enterprise networks can easily be reconfigured and allow for potentially nonstop exposure; they require the level of security be scrutinized carefully. This includes inherent security flaws in various network architectures that result in additional risks to otherwise secure converged networks. A few books cover components of the architecture, design, theory, issues, challenges, and recommended policies for IM security, but none of them address IM issues in a manner that is useful for the day-to-day operations and management of enterprise networks. IM Security is intended to bridge this gap. UNIQUE FEATURE/RATIONALE There are no current books that cover components of the architecture, design, theory, issues, challenges, and recommended policies for IM security. No book we know of addresses IM security in a manner useful for day-to-day operations and management of IM-capable networks in todays corporate environment.Electronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions.Instant messagingSecurity measures.Electronic mail messagesSecurity measures.Computer security.Electronic books.localRansome, James F.Original15555833859781555583385(OCoLC)60775927Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781555583385An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information.b1365504824-02-2224-01-08991003247859707536C0TEFIM, instant messaging, security1212810UNISALENTOle02924-01-08mm -engne 00
