Enterprises are facing increased security and compliance risks due to the unmanaged use of Skype on corporate networks, according to a recent survey conducted by Akonix Systems, Inc., provider of the most deployed instant messaging (IM) security and compliance products in the world.
In a September 2006 survey, nearly 43% of respondents claimed that Skype is allowed on their corporate networks, and only 27% said their organizations blocks the use of Skype. Another 12% said that Skype is not allowed but employees use it anyway, and 18% did not know if Skype was restricted or not.
