From VoIP to VoIM > Got Skype?

said by dadkins:

Hello! nearly every night I use Skype, to voice chat, text chat, and send/receive files - encrypted even!

This is new?

Despite varying features, the one thing that these solutions hold in common is the promise of greater security than that currently provided by public IM networks.

Fortunately, enterprise-grade VoIM solutions from vendors including IBM, Microsoft and Effusia offer built-in security features such as 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to safeguard against intercepted messages and IM-based viruses. Another safe alternative is for companies to turn to IM-management vendors — such as Akonix Systems Inc. and FaceTime Communications — that provide security and compliance services for corporate use of IM and other real-time communications. When it comes to marrying two hot technologies like VoIP and IM, you’re better safe than sorry.
