Sorry if this has been answered. I did not find anything.

We use Skype for our international customers and get many of our orders that way. I am setting up a HP Proliant with SBS 2003 R2 and was wondering what the school of thought is when it comes to Skype and risk?

Thanks!

Skype has had a few security holes, but they are pretty quick to patch. As for VoIP software, it's pretty secure.

What are you worried about? The app or the payload?

The app is my concern. My fianc? does helpdesk design and implementation at many major companies (HEAT)and she tells me that no network at any of these companies allow SKype. Apparently opens ports.
