Guess its the sailor in me.. shoving all your mail through a service is a chokepoint. One that could be exploited to copy mail for later perusing or cut, providing a denial of your service.
Just two of my concerns. John M. From: Alan Davies [mailto:adav...@cls-services.com] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2012 5:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Cloud-Based Email Filtering Ill second that about 10 years experience with them across multiple roles. No issues at all. If you think this exposes you to additional operational risk or security risk, you probably overestimate greatly your own operational or security capabilities! ;o) That said, the portal could sometimes be easier to use and Symantec taking over fills me with dread for the future development of the service .. Honestly, cloud services for email and web traffic are an absolute no-brainer for me these days. Its such a great fit and great price that youd have to be trying *really* hard to do better, let alone cheaper, internally Ive never come across a company that does so. The additional benefits of removing Internet peering touchpoints from your network shouldnt be underestimated either from a security perspective. If you do both of these things and also enforce device control on authorised media (preferably along with a policy for offline scanning prior to internal use once they touch a non-company machine), then malware is going to have a seriously hard time getting onto your systems (not that I wouldnt recommend application whitelisting, removal of admin, etc. and all other sensible host measures). a From: Rick Berry [mailto:rbe...@elevativenetworks.com] Sent: 01 July 2012 16:29 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Cloud-Based Email Filtering We use Symantec cloud, ex-Brightmail/ex-MessageLabs. Basically its MessageLabs, and has been rock solid for us.

Any other recommendations for external spam and malware filtering?
