In addition, FaceTime CEO Kailash Ambwani will facilitate a discussion on the security issues surrounding the use of instant messaging and Skype in the enterprise. RSA Peer-to-Peer (P2P) sessions are designed to encourage conference participants to actively engage in top-of-mind discussions in a small group environment.

Many security professionals have seen consumer applications creep into enterprises, and have taken varied approaches to blocking or allowing programs such as Skype or IM.
