It’s seek and hide game in the VoIP market. With Skype’s peer-to-peer protocol continues to traverse firewalls and gets into corporate networking, the security experts are at work to come up their latest versions of VoIP blockers to disturb Skype. This is what we are witnessing in these days.
Take for instance the Germany company ipoque that pioneers in application and user aware traffic management and analysis system. The company has updated versions of its VoIP blocker tool to deal with Skype latest 3.0 version.
Skype has released Skype 3.0 in beta on November 9 this year. Consequently, the German company has updated its Skype blocker tool to answer the latest version.
Klaus Deger, Chief Software architect of ipoque said,
Changes in the Skype 3.0 client probably have been made as an answer to detection mechanisms recently implemented by various vendors ...[and] the announced stable release of this new version will attract many Skype users - both in private and business environments.
The company says that the updated tool is the most effective solution for the corporate world to block the peer-to-peer file sharing programs, instant messaging applications and VoIP traffic including Skype.
