A friend of mine was complaining that their IT manager was suggesting curtailing the use of instant messenger in their network, after a outbreak of virus last week. Remember this outbreak occured bcos of email(not through messenger), received from one of their vendors.
My friend feels,removing IM use is not going to solve this problem and I feel the same too.Only effective policy will keep the network safe and effective policy doesn’t mean not to ban certain softwares which are useful in their own way.
