• Networker 4.0 … Presence Networks released Version 4.0 of Networker, a secure transport managed gateway for real-time instant messaging. “Networker now enables the secure communications with public IM solutions such as MSN, ICQ and Yahoo. With other Corporate IM solutions, the method of communicating between public and corporate solutions is by federation. As a result, this opened up the organisation to the security risks and associated vulnerabilities of any public IM gateway. With Networker 4.0, the public IM gateway communicates with the Networker Server which in turn communicates with the Networker Client, at the point of which the communication passes through the Networker Server, the communication is “cleansed” therefore ensuring the highest level of security and eliminating Peer-2-Peer communications.” Presence Networks
