I'm looking forward to the meeting

Some of the top firms in the country have turned off their staff's web email (Outlook Web Access) completely until they could resolve common yet hidden security vulnerabilities that are overlooked by most organizations. We will show you how unauthorized users can gain access to your confidential files and often your whole email account even when running additional perimeter security products. Then we will show you how 2,500 enterprises, including many of the world’s top financial services organizations, law firms, governments, and pharmaceutical companies are securing their web-based email within their existing Microsoft Exchange environments.
With the significant improvements in Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access (OWA) provided with Exchange 2007, many more enterprises see the value of utilizing OWA for all or an increasing portion of their remote mail usage. They are finding that a complete OWA solution includes offering both OWA and OWA Light users functionality that was only previously available in desktop Outlook; such as, side by side calendaring, delegate permissioning, OWA calendar printing, personal dictionaries, expanded recipient addressing, “send-to” capabilities and much more.
