Summary Analysis of IM & P2P Threats
Real-time communications - instant messaging, chat programs such as
IRC and web conferencing, and peer-to-peer networking tools like Skype and
other VoIP applications - are in regular use in organization today. IM is in
use by more than 80% of organizations, according to messaging industry analyst
Michael Osterman, and IDC estimates that enterprise IM will grow from 40
million users today to more than 140 million by 2009, making it the fastest
growing communications medium of all time.
The IMPact Report summarizes and compares data accumulated by FaceTime

in this analysis are derived from server log files maintained by FaceTime Security
Labs, the threat research and response arm of FaceTime; each individual incident
