FOSTER CITY, CALIF. - September 13, 2006 -
FaceTime Communications, an IBM Advanced level member of IBM
PartnerWorld, partner and leading provider of solutions for
securing and managing greynets such as instant messaging (IM),
peer-to-peer (P2P), VoIP and Web conferencing, today announced its
support for IBM® Lotus® Sametime® 7.5 software, including exclusive
promotional offerings for Lotus Sametime customers. IMAuditor 8.0
provides enhanced security and compliance including comprehensive
malware protection against worms, viruses, spyware and SpIM as well
as tamper-proof, non-repudiated full capture, recording, archival
and auditing of all conversations and file transfers conducted over
Lotus Sametime 7.5. Enterprise IM networks can be at risk from the
same inbound threats from worms, viruses, root kits, spyware and
malware that have targeted public IM and email applications.
Additionally, organizations must protect against business risks of
information leakage and maintain corporate and regulatory
compliance across all communications applications. FaceTime
provides an added layer of protection to the security features that
are an integral part of Lotus Sametime 7.5 software. FaceTime is
currently offering special promotions to Lotus Sametime customers
including a 60 day free trial with on-site support, a free public
IM visibility assessment and a 25 percent discount on the price of
FaceTime's RTGuardian - a perimeter appliance designed to block
unsanctioned public IM, P2P and prevent adware and spyware before
it infects the network. For more information visit the FaceTime

bppromopage-lotus#FaceTime "A growing number of large
organizations are planning to roll out enterprise IM platforms over
the next six months to a year to realize efficiencies from
real-time communications such as IM, meeting rooms and Web
conferencing," said Erica Ziemer, vice president of business
development for FaceTime Communications. "For these large
enterprise organizations adopting Sametime, insuring comprehensive
security and compliance through a best of breed solution is
crucial. There is simply too much at stake to leave any corner of
the network unprotected from either inbound malware threats or
potential information loss from within." FaceTime's IMAuditor
records IM conversations from Lotus Sametime clients as well as
chat from Sametime meeting rooms, applying sophisticated content
filtering and security policies configurable by IT staff. Specific
controls include user and group level policy configuration,
including the ability to enable Chinese walls. FaceTime is the only
security solution to perform anti-virus scanning on file transfers
over Lotus Sametime as well as archive the content of the file
transfer. FaceTime provides detailed reporting on Lotus Sametime IM
usage, security violations, compliance violations and transcript
reviews. About IMAuditor and FaceTime Enterprise
Edition
FaceTime IMAuditor is a full-featured IM proxy that secures and
manages all public and enterprise IM use over the enterprise
network. IMAuditor, which resides on the LAN, maintains an
integrated trust relationship with FaceTime's perimeter product,

Enterprise Edition to deliver complete end-to-end security,
management and compliance for real-time communications in the
enterprise, ensuring that corporate data is protected both from
outside threats such as spyware, worms and other malware, as well
as from information leakage from within the company.
