Sam,There are probably vulnerabilities in skype that would allow an attacker to penetrate into your network by just sending you a message, not just file xfers.

I didn't explain the business use case for needing Skype, I apologize. The thought from our business folks is that their customers already use Skype today to do video conferencing, so it seems like a logical choice for them to also use Skype to make calls to those customers. I agree, Skype could be used to penetrate a network, most specifically if a user decides to share out a network shared drive, or some other repository. On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 11:07 AM, Adriel T.

We are currently evaluating the use of Skype as a method to make end to end customer calls and am concerned with the security aspects of the product. I'm curious what security policies companies have put into place regarding the use of Skype. Thanks, SamAdriel T.
