Weighing the Need to Communicate Versus the Need to Secure
The security versus productivity realities of modern messaging provided the backdrop to
the development of ISA Server 2006??™s security capabilities. These capabilities enable many
organizations to provide for secured, auditable access to their messaging environments.
This helps to satisfy the governmental and industry compliance concerns that plagued
some of the past messaging access methods.
Outlining ISA Server 2006??™s Messaging Security Mechanisms
As a backdrop to these developments, ISA Server 2006 was designed with messaging security
in mind. A great degree of functionality was developed to address email access and
communications, with particularly tight integration with Microsoft Exchange Server built
in. To illustrate, ISA Server 2006 supports securing the following messaging protocols and
access methods:
. Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)
. Message Application Programming Interface (MAPI)
. Post Office Protocol (POP3)
. Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4)
. Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web Access (OWA,) with or without forms-based
authentication (FBA)
.
