My suggestion is to take the low road and perform some security awareness by educating the user base that web chat and IM are not encrypted and may be subject to monitoring by the company and anyone outside of the company network willing to run a packet sniffer.

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?
