The Secure Messaging solution helps you deliver more secure business communication from virtually anywhere and on virtually any device, while preventing unauthorized use of confidential information.
The benefits of deploying Microsoft technologies for Secure Messaging can be best viewed through three core principles:
Help Protect Virtually Everywhere and Access Virtually Anywhere
Help protect messages, content and infrastructure from malware, spam, and Web-based threats through comprehensive protection technologies and identity-based access policies.
Help prevent information leakage and safeguard data from exploit wherever data goes by encrypting content, embedding usage rights into documents, and scanning incoming or outgoing network traffic for compromised or sensitive data.
Help secure remote access to messaging infrastructure via policy-based application publishing and protection on a security-hardened network edge appliance.
Integrate and Extend Security Across the Enterprise
Provide the flexibility to extend on-premise e-mail security to the cloud to reduce server load by offloading spam-blocking, virus scanning, virus quarantine, and other security tasks to hosted services on the Internet—helping to free up your IT resources to focus on business-related operations.
Help control e-mail through native integration of information rights management into Exchange Server 2010 with comprehensive policy management, encryption, and enforcement.
Simplify the Security Experience and Manage Compliance
Help drive messaging compliance with enterprise-wide visibility into emerging threats through management packs and monitoring in System Center Operations Manager, and depth reporting via SQL Server Reporting Services.
Provide a single console for managing on-premise and cloud-based messaging security.
Single-vendor acquisition and support for both Exchange and security services.
