Watchdog & (in)secure email

posted by chris on Friday, October 30th 2009

For anyone that watched last night’s Watchdog on how insecure email can be at wireless hot spots; I can confirm that all of our Exchange 2007 customers would not have been affected/at risk. Our Exchange 2007 Client Access Server requires access via an encrypted connection (https) for whole duration of your session. This differes from many other popular web based services that only require the secure connection when entering the password.

You can watch the episode online here:

As a reiteration, all of our applications and websites that require a username/password (usually for the admin panel) run over https and are forced to use https.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact myself or a member of the team and we’ll be happy to answer them.
