Event Review: Secure Manageable Messaging (Session ITPROHOT-15)

Session Outline

As Contoso's business practices have evolved to offer workers more flexibility and to encourage collaboration, the messaging infrastructure has become a central hub of activity. This has led the company's IT department to identify the messaging environment as a potential target for attack. In part six in our series, Contoso prepares to upgrade to a more secure, monitored, and maintained messaging infrastructure that supports mobile users. We show how to configure Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006, Windows Rights Management Services, Microsoft Antigen, and Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services to provide a secure server infrastructure. We also demonstrate how to deploy Microsoft Operations Manager with management packs to minimize the costs associated with maintaining this solution.
