    Hi,

    We currently are allowing web based chat and instant messaging. I know that
    there are lots of security issues involved with its usage. The IT folks are
    telling me that it is a common practice in the industry. I have a hard time
    believing this and this is one battle I would like to take on.

    QUESTION: DOES YOUR COMPANY ALLOW WEB BASED CHAT AND INSTANT MESSAGING? If
    this was a battle you fought, could you please give me some ideas on how you
    won the battle. Any good articles/white papers that could support my
    position?
