Re: Skype

Any ideas how to profile skype traffic and possibly block it? I've heard
rumors that cisco content switch can detect skype traffic and block in
90% of the cases? Any ideas on this topic and general skype security
risks for the corporate environment?

Hello,

I read recently about blocking skype. BlueSocket Proxy Applyance http://bluecoat.com/ can do it and CheckPoint Interspect
http://www.checkpoint.com/products/interspect/.
And there are some others but I don't remember the names.

Laters,

misiu
