IMlogic is super hot. Look around and see who isn't using IM - as IMs popularity rises exponentially so will all the IM-born viruses, worms and other threats not just to the user but eventually the entire enterprise. In fact these attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated and blended in nature and that's where IMlogic comes to your rescue. MSN, AIM and Yahoo are the most commonly used IMs in order of popularity. Large enterprises have their own versions of internal IMs which may or may not integrate with these popular ones. However such internal IMs are equally susceptible to threats and attacks.

RTTPS - The IMlogic Real-Time Threat Protection System (RTTPS) is the industry's first and most advanced IM threat protection system for predictive, automatic threat identification and prevention. IMlogic’s patent-pending RTTPS technology moves IM threat protection beyond traditional reactive security systems and safeguards, preventing IM virus, worm and malware outbreaks before they occur.
The IMlogic Real-Time Threat Protection System passively monitors all enterprise IM traffic and looks for network anomalies and potential malicious behavior. Once a potential threat is recognized, the RTTPS predictive protection filter identifies the new threat signature and stops the potential outbreak by blocking it at the point of propagation.
IMlogic Threat Center – The IMlogic Threat Center is the industry’s first global consortium to provide threat detection and protection for instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. The Threat Center finds the latest industry trends and statistics on IM worms, viruses, and vulnerabilities.
"IMlogic is in a hot market space with real hot solutions. Do not under estimate the growing popularity and addiction to instant messaging and the threat holes that it opens up. No doubt all market analysis results point to more demand for IMlogic's IM management solutions."

What makes IMlogic an Info Security "Hot Company" 2006
Products & Technologies
IMlogic is the only company to offer predictive, proactive protection from IM-based threats. It was the first company to launch a global clearinghouse for all IM and P2P threat activity. Called the IMlogic Threat Center, the clearinghouse aggregates expertise from Internet security leaders Symantec, Sybari, McAfee, and Postini and global instant messaging leaders America Online, Microsoft and Yahoo! to immediately issue alerts about the latest threats and provide customers with steps on how to secure their networks.
The IMlogic Threat Center has set a standard that sets the bar higher. Not satisfied with that success alone, IMlogic also introduce the IMlogic Real-Time Threat Protection System, which integrates with the IMlogic Threat Center to identify malicious threats before they attack and automatically update a customer’s security settings to ensure the threat cannot enter. Launching these services has defined IMlogic as an industry leader.
Introduced the IMlogic IM Manager SMARTGig 6000, a secure, plug-and-play IM management appliance to help companies manage instant messaging with best-of-breed compliance and security;
