Exchange 2007 What you need to know Article Library Exchange 2007 What you need to know June 4, 2007 Summary Many of today small to mid-sized businesses operate in a Microsoft Exchange environment. Introduction Many of today small to mid-sized businesses operate in a Microsoft Exchange environment. Most of these businesses have invested in Exchange and Exchange-compatible systems over the years, and now they are both loyal to and dependent upon Exchange for email. Now that Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 has finally been released, you might be wondering if it worth the time, effort, and cost to migrate to 2007 from your current platform. Find out what new with Exchange 2007, and what security issues to consider before you migrate. Long time coming Prior to 2007, the last release of Exchange was in 2003. Exchange Server 2007 includes many new enhancements and features that improve upon the 2003 platform. Here are some of the improvements that come with Exchange 2007:

• More access Email inbox, calendar, contact information, and voicemail can be accessed virtually anywhere, anytime using a browser.
• Better availability New data replication capabilities drive increased availability at a lower cost.
• Richer email experience Improved user experience and better manageability. Desktop features such as quick flags, sophisticated calendaring, and fast search are now available on mobile devices.
• Unified messaging Employees can receive their email, -voicemail, and faxes through a single inbox that can be accessed from anywhere. This means lower cost and complexity through consolidation of voicemail infrastructure.
• Promotes compliance Features are specifically designed to help comply with corporate, regulatory, and legal requirements.
• Improved Web access Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2007 gives a rich, Outlook 2007-like experience from a browser anywhere. No VPN is required.
• Management help Updated graphical management console with a more intuitive user interface, and a toolbox work center integrates diagnostics, monitoring, and troubleshooting tools.

One of the most prominent changes is that Exchange 2007 only runs on 64-bit servers. Even though 64-bit servers enable higher performance, it been one of the biggest obstacles to migrating for small to mid-sized businesses because it means replacing existing 32-bit servers with new ones that cost twice as much. Managing email security Email is mission-critical to most small to mid-sized businesses, so while Exchange 2007 boasts many new features, migrating to a new email system is not a task to be taken lightly. If you decide to migrate, you also must consider how you will secure, manage, and archive all aspects of the messaging environment while also ensuring compliance with IT policies and government regulations. Symantec has two important solutions that are compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007:

• Continuous backup and recovery: Email applications contain vast amounts of information that must be backed up and stored. Symantec Backup Exec11d for Windows Servers is our leading recovery solution that provides continuous disk-to-disk-to-tape backup and recovery for Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers. It eliminates the need for daily backups and enables quick recovery of individual mailboxes, messages, and folders. Backup Exec also protects stored data with 128-bit and 256-bit encryption to ensure the security of data that is backed up.
• Messaging security: Email not only needs to be backed up it also needs to be protected. IT administrators must protect email from virus threats, spam, and other security risks, while ensuring that internal policies are being enforced. Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange 2007 provides advanced antivirus and antispam protection, integrated content filtering with advanced policy rules, and fast scans that reduce the load on the Exchange server. SMS is easy to administer and its user interface provides a consistent, high performance administration experience.

Conclusion The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 boasts many new features that make accessing and managing email easier than ever for IT administrators and employees. What it doesn do is back up or recover email messages, or protect them from outside threats. Your email system is a critical component of your business you can afford to risk your messaging data. That where Symantec solutions can help.

The Changing Face of Online Fraud - Symantec Corp. Article Library The Changing Face of Online Fraud February 20, 2007 Summary Online fraud continues to evolve at a steady pace, and that calls for enterprises to be increasingly vigilant. Fortunately, help is available. Introduction Not that long ago some officials were declaring the war against spam all but won. The Federal Trade Commission as recently as December 2006 published a tate of spam report, citing research indicating spam had leveled off or even dropped during the previous year. But lately there have been disturbing signs that spam is staging a comeback -- and becoming more widespread than ever. In fact, some reports suggest there is twice as much spam circulating today as a year ago. What worse, researchers attribute this resurgence in unwanted email to so-called mage spam that is often tied to fraudulent penny stock schemes. As this article will show, online fraud continues to evolve at a steady pace, forcing enterprises to be increasingly vigilant about this cyber menace. Beware of ump and dump schemes The rise of image spam shows once more that, when traditional methods fail, spammers and fraudsters turn to more sophisticated techniques. Image spam, by using pictures instead of words, can evade filters set up to detect text-based ads. Concentrated stock spamming has the ability to send share prices of penny stocks soaring. As John Reed Stark, chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission Office of Internet Enforcement, told MSNBC Red Tape Chronicles blog, attempts to manipulate stock prices through email are nothing new. The SEC has prosecuted some spam ump and dumpers and suspended trading in firms after it discovered a spam campaign. But the agency can hardly keep up with the millions of stock spams that are proliferating today. Red Tape Chronicles Bob Sullivan writes: tock spam is effective because no Web link is required. In old-fashioned spam, criminals generally try to trick recipients into clicking on a link and buying something. Many email programs now block direct Web links from emails, rendering click-dependent spam much less effective. But stock messages merely have to make the recipient curious enough about a company to motivate him or her to buy a few shares through a broker. br / Symantec estimates that the monthly percentage of spam dedicated to touting stocks varies between 20 percent and 40 percent. One way companies combat image spam is by turning off all images arriving in inboxes. But that can be an extreme measure as it bars harmless pictures as well. The best defense may be the delete key -- and a heavy dose of skepticism when investing based on anonymous tips. As the SEC Stark told Red Tape Chronicles: ever invest based on spam. br / A plethora of phishing threats monebaggasse
