IT departments are turning to instantmessage security and internet filtering services to ensure employee productivity.

IT departments may already use Internet filteringservices, but the IM market presents plenty of new challenges outside of Google andAOL, including GAIM and Trillian; a comprehensive instant message security system isrequired to ensure that businesses prevent revenue bleeding.
