Organizations need to protect sensitive information and prevent its inadvertent disclosure. Examples include financial data or personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or health records. With IM.Echo’s data loss prevention (DLP) for Skype, you can identify, monitor, and automatically protect sensitive information.

Used by itself or in conjunction with Pearl Echo.Suite, IM.Echo lets you easily customize your cybersecurity policies for comprehensive Skype IM traffic control.

Want to see what's being written in Skype IM or Group Chats? IM.Echo's Quick Link function allows you to do this by restoring both outgoing and incoming text. It creates a complete activity history for you to review.

We were thinking "enterprise" when we created IM.Echo. Included is a report manager that generates customizable analytics for groups and users. To prevent leaks that are confidential or personal, the product includes a text pattern analyzer. The need to control Skype instant messaging activity is clear: while it's a handy tool for communications across the network, it can be a cybersecurity hole for insider threats as well as cause the loss of productivity when not used in in accordance with policy.
