Explanation
Corporate instant messaging introduces specific security risks around sensitive data leaving the organization, regulatory compliance obligations, and malware transmission through file transfers or malicious links.
Common mistakes.
- A. Authentication is a general IT concern applied universally across all systems and is not a risk uniquely introduced or elevated by corporate IM usage.
- E. Non-repudiation is an important security property but is not among the primary risk categories that IM specifically introduces compared to other communication channels.
- F. Network loading is an operational and capacity concern, not a security risk that an IT security manager would classify as a primary IM security concern.
Concept tested. Corporate IM security risks - data leakage, compliance, malware
