Deploying Cisco Unified Presence v8 (CUP8) is
one of the first steps to take advantage of the benefits of Unified
Communications (UC). However, in heterogeneous environments where
the UC platform operates alongside other communications
applications, the overall security, management and compliance
becomes more complex.
Aside from the obvious hazard of malware using unauthorized
channels to subversively enter the network, deploying CUP8 without
the means to enforce other communications channels from being used
adds the danger that organizations are not monitoring everything
that leaves or enters the network. Add to this a lack of management
to consistently enforce disclaimers, manage content filtering, and
provide granular control over all Internet communications and it is
clear that releasing the full potential of unified communications
and collaboration requires specialist technology to meet the
security, management, and compliance issues created when deploying
a UC platform.
Actiance's award-winning platform, Vantage, extends and
augments CUP8's native functionality with security, compliance,
policy enforcement, reporting, and archiving, without impacting the
scalability or the performance of a CUP8 deployment. Actiance's
extensive functionality enables enterprises to embrace internal and
external collaboration, with the ability to create ethical
boundaries and block or control potentially unauthorized
applications, such as Skype, Google Talk, and other real-time
communications.
