I'm using group policy to turn off being a supernode, downloads, listening on tcp ports, and 3rd party access to the Skype API. Our security folks reviewed it and are happy. From: Tim Evans [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 11:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Skype Has anyone looked at Skype recently? We've got a client that wants us to use Skype for communications with them. I've always been a little leery of using them in a business environment, but looking at it now, I see they have a MSI download for easy deployment and a group policy template for central administration of settings. It all looks pretty cool. While the security guy in me wants to say no, I'm having a hard time finding a reason not to say OK. I'm curious what the members of this esteemed group think about it ...Tim ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
