FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 9, 2003 --
Recognizing its established leadership as the premier provider of
security and management solutions for instant messaging (IM) in the
enterprise, FaceTime Communications today announced it has been
selected by RSA as the only instant messaging solution provider to
present at its RSA Conference 2003. Now in its 12th year, the RSA
Conference is the largest security conference in the world. More
than 10,000 IT professionals, policy makers and executives will
attend the conference being held April 13-17, 2003 at the Moscone
Center and Sony Metreon Theater in San Francisco, California.
Instant messaging has gained broad acceptance in the enterprise as
a powerful productivity, collaboration and customer service tool,
but as corporate IM usage increases, so do network and information
security concerns. Recognizing the timeliness and critical nature
of these issues as well as the significant gains FaceTime has
already made in resolving these issues for its Fortune 1000
customer base, the RSA Conference has selected the company to
provide expertise to its delegates who are planning their
strategies for secure instant messaging. FaceTime Founder and CTO,
Mehdi Maghsoodnia will present the session, "Securing Instant
Messaging in the Enterprise," on Tuesday, April 15 at 8:00 a.m. in
Sony Metreon Theater 9. Typically, widely available and
downloadable IM software has been difficult for IT departments to
manage-with proper authentication, access control and anti-virus
protection among the chief concerns. Many fear IM can be used to
dupe their businesses with hidden virus attachments or fraudulent
identities. While some organizations have opted to standardize or
block employee access to IM altogether, FaceTime has long helped
organizations competing in fast-paced environments embrace the
full, global reach of instant messaging with its centralized IM
security and management solutions. FaceTime's IMAuditor Enterprise
enables businesses to apply the power of instant messaging to
critical business processes while managing the network and
information security risks associated with its use. A strategic
partnership with McAfee provides additional virus protection.
"FaceTime is honored to be the instant messaging experts to speak
at this year's RSA Conference," said FaceTime President & CEO
Glen Vondrick. "FaceTime's market success with over 250 enterprise
customers in various industries demonstrates our expertise in
providing solutions that help customers address the security risks
posed by IM. FaceTime makes it possible for all businesses to fully
embrace and safely leverage the real-time, global reach of instant
messaging."
