As a true Hybrid Solution, iPrism IM Filter gives you the security and control of an on-premises appliance while offering the scalability of an on-demand service. The appliance monitors all IM traffic on your network, ensuring that no one can circumvent the filter, while the inspection of IM messages takes place at St. Bernard’s data centers to take advantage of the security and scalability they provide.
The iPrism IM Filter can be easily deployed and provisioned from the Central Management Console on your iPrism appliance. Activating the on-demand services is easy and you can configure your iPrism IM Filter with just a few mouse clicks.
- AIM (AOL Instant Messenger)
- Yahoo! Messenger
- Microsoft MSN Messenger
IPrism IM Filter gives you the crucial ability to register IM users and match their screen names to their corporate email address. This registration process gives you the ability to block, track and monitor users by group, individuals or across your entire organization. This flexible functionality is important to enforcing both your internal AUP and security policy as well as insuring regulatory compliance.
The ability to push custom disclaimers to individual users or groups can provide an instant deterrent to IM abuses and encourage self-regulation throughout your organization. Imagine how an IM conversation might be transformed if your users received a communication like this:
"This is a message from the company's network administrator. You are hereby advised that your IM session is being monitored and logged for possible review by the Internet Advisory Board."
Automatic disclaimers not only help your employees avoid pitfalls when using IM, they can also decrease your legal liability and help enforce your AUP.
The threat of losing sensitive customer data or intellectual property via IM is all too real. Our secure content filtering gives you the ability to filter your IM content and block specific words or phrases before they can be transmitted. It can also recognize words or phrases that are inappropriate for the workplace. In addition, the flexibility of our IM filter allows you to block and/or track any combination of letters or numbers so you can customize it to fit your exact requirements.
This feature allows you to receive and send short customized notifications whenever an IM category or content rule is violated. You can send notifications to your own email or others in the organization if you choose. Possible notifications include:
- Inappropriate IM content blocked
- Inappropriate file download blocked
- *.exe file blocked
Hackers have increasingly targeted IM for attacks because many companies are unaware of what a serious threat their unmanaged IM access poses. iPrism IM Filter includes powerful antivirus defense allowing companies to make supported IM programs available to employees to enhance collaboration and real-time communications. This added layer of antivirus protection reinforces your overall security strategy by keeping IM-borne viruses/malware away from company workstations and servers.
Our IM filter includes a number of report templates that will help you get instant visibility into your IM traffic. These templates help you monitor network performance, enforce your AUP by searching on logged conversations or review blocked and/or quarantined files.
IM Built-in Report Templates include:
- Traffic/Bandwidth
- File Transfers (Total number, Number of Scanned and Blocked Files)
- Quarantined Files

> Intellectual Property Loss
> AUP Enforcement
