Skype Security review

[gbugbear at gmail.com (Bugbear)]

The first thing I would do is evaluate the business need verse your
ability to patch and manage it. Skype like any app has had and will
have vulnerabilities in it. Also there are some settings for security
and privacy that may or may not be controllable via registry, etc...
Personally we block it but we also have other resources in place that
allow people to get their job done (i.e. conference bridges,
blackberries, etc...)

A quick search on CVE DB

Hope this helps.
