Press Release Source: Info-Tech Research Group Ban corporate Skype usage immediately, says Info-Tech Research Group Thursday November 10, 10:22 am ET LONDON, ON, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ - Technology industry analyst firm Info- Tech Research Group (www.infotech.com) is telling enterprises to ban Skype - the freely-available Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone service - from their organizations. "Companies that are already banning peer-to-peer applications, such as instant messaging, should add Skype to its list of unsanctioned software programs," says Info-Tech analyst Ross Armstrong. "Approximately 17 million registered Skype users are using the service for business purposes," says Armstrong. "Unless an organization specifies instances where Skype use is acceptable, and outlines rules for client-side Skype settings, that's 17 million opportunities for a hacker to invade a corporate network."
