MESSAGING SECURITY
Locking Down Web-based Mail Systems
Web-based e-mail is vulnerable to five primary security problems. Here’s how to address them.
About this Article:
Although Web-mail systems such as Hotmail and Yahoo are free and convenient, issues of
security, confidentiality, and privacy surrounding their usage have forced most commercial and government enterprises to forbid their use for any official purposes. However, "secure" products that allow Web access to corporate e-mail systems -- such as Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web Access and Lotus iNotes—may offer a false sense of security.
Joseph Steinberg is the director of technical services for Whale Communications. Whale Communications' e-Gap System suite of products includes the e-Gap Web-mail System, the e-Gap e-Business System, and the e-Gap Network Separator System. Based on air gap technology, the e-Gap System is a security offering specifically designed for protecting real-time e-business. http://www.whalecommunications.com, info@whale-com.com.
