Jon,

You could have a look at this OWA audit for some more details. Be aware that the 
document is useful, but the issues in it (as well as your #1) are handled by 
Messageware's SecureLogoff product.

Subject: Securing the OWA Kiosk


How are folks handling the following potential security risks using OWA from
unsecured workstations, such as a kiosk or library environment?

1. Cached web pages, etc. on the workstation. User walks away without
closing the browser, the next user has access to the previous users' email.

2. Stealth keyboard capture program grabs userids and passwords.

It seems like there is a common train of thought about remote OWA that 'It
is only email, what is the worst that could happen?' My take is someone who
has unauthorized access to email can potentially:

-       Get people fired;
-       Get people arrested;
-       Get companies/people sued;
-       Cost companies/people money.

Thanks . . .
