Ability to monitor popular IM protocols (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, IRC) and properly classify tunneled IM traffic (HTTP)
Created: 19 Apr 2010 | Updated: 22 Oct 2010 | 3 comments
Hi all,
As I known, DLP can monitor popular IM protocols (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, IRC) and properly classify tunneled IM traffic (HTTP).
Pls suggest a way to test this feature.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Sunny

First you will need to setup a Network Monitor DLP device at the perimeter where you will see web traffic. The next thing will be to create a test policy. After that, just setup an IM client and send something through it that violates the test policy.
Hi all,
Already setup a testing environment and saw web traffic. If using IM client, we already tested successfully.
On another way, if using web IM application (such as EBuddy, Web ICQ), how can I test it? and pls provide me the steps.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Sunny
If they are just standard web pages posts it should work the same as regular web traffic. Although I have not specifically tested due to the fact that we block all know chat sites through our URl filtering program.
