Skype for Business will have seen on a train, grow a few solutions to bring before and thus massive gains in efficiency and productivity.
But these profits, as you read in Part 1 of this blog series, bringing with them new concerns for the security and privacy.
Now there are several ways you can increase security with Skype for business approach. The "Tools - Options" has a subset of about 15 categories, each with options that can be enabled or disabled, the security level in Skype, changing
You could even try to adjust group policy settings for Skype. disable features such as file transfer, chat logs, or the session recording function. But that is not always practical and would lead to the very characteristics in the distance, are making Skype, so good. It would be like taking the tires and radio from the car, and depending on the industry, it might be illegal, or even out of compliance when the auditors come to ring.
For example, in the financial services industry, if you discuss any kind of commercial or warehouse by iM, these talks must be within the scope of an audit available.
sure your VoIP calls are encrypted by default, as you authenticate through Active Directory to "Hacker" tap prevent your conversations. But that is only effective in real-time conversation and does not help with the thumbprints that get left behind. Do not forget, all chat logs, files and records are stored on the endpoint by default.
I can not only use GPO settings?
There are several challenges with trying to "lock" in this way to Skype. First, would this GPO settings apply only to Windows-based systems that you manage. Secondly, if you break the basic rule (as many organizations do, especially in a world BYO) and allow the user to be a local administrator of their own system, these policy settings can be easily reversed.
I suppose you could write a macro to delete all chat logs and files from the default folder "Downloads", which leads to close (remember when we called directories?) But that is not really an effective "security" solution. It's security through obscurity.
You can change the default locations to store for file and configure the recording to be on a network share. This would ensure that all sensitive information shared between Skype users in a secure, remote location that only your company's IT controls is maintained. This is an excellent step in the right direction! Now, no matter where or what device your employees use Skype, the data is always protected in the corporate vault.
distance, the data grow fonder?
The challenge, of course in the user experience. If I have a local Skype for Business Client and my files used, records and logs are always a few hundred miles is sent to my share, then my experience will be degraded, and I will most likely ditch. And if the link is a high-latency network connection, for example via a free hotspot in a cafe on Nantucket-my experience is even worse. So I can have the security of having a poor performance, as I sit and wait, to copy my file more than 800 miles to use a hacked WiFi. #FAIL
If that were the case, we would find ourselves back where we started. I bypass my corporate IT controls for a better experience. And with the explosion of BYOD, I am installing probably Skype for Business on my own iPad Pro, surface, laptop, Chromebook and more. These are devices that my corporate IT does not necessarily control over and it does not apply a GPO that guides my Skype data in the first place.
So what is to do an IT administrator?
the most effective way to ensure that Skype is data safe, Skype is to host for companies in the data center under lock and key where no one can access it. Skype over XenApp to virtualize and ensure XenDesktop, you can that Skype and its sensitive data is kept together for better performance and remain the endpoint devices that will be easily lost or stolen. How peanut butter and jelly or coffee and Stroopwafels, getting better together.
Well, I hear what you say back. The question on your mind,
Ok, that sounds good, for text and instant messaging. But when I put my Skype hosted for companies to XenApp in my data center 800 miles away, and I want to do voice and video calls, as in your earlier example, well, how does it work?
, it is a great question, and I'm so glad you asked. What do you refer to the "Tromboning effect" called and it can make your Skype for Business Security Strategy quickly kill introduce through inefficient routes and network stuttering.
So how do we avoid network stuttering? Stay tuned ...
