Securing WebMail
Microsoft Outlook Web Access and Lotus iNotes : MXtreme – Secure Remote Access
An increasing number of corporate email users now require secure remote access to their enterprise mailboxes. While Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Lotus iNotes enable remote email access, they are vulnerable to a number of security breaches. Alternatives, such as IP/Sec VPN, are costly to install and maintain; SSL-based VPNs don’t work in all situations.
Flexible Web-Based Email Access MXtreme Mail Firewall solves the challenge of secure remote access through BorderPost, MXtreme’s built-in WebMail client. BorderPost connects to your internal email servers using IMAP, and provides users 128-bit SSL encrypted access to their mailbox from any web browser. BorderPost manages the entire session, automatically logging off and clearing cached information in the remote browser, so you don't have to worry about unauthorised access to email from a public kiosk. MXtreme also provides secure authenticated proxies for Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Lotus iNotes. This feature is ideal for users who want access to other tools, such as calendars and private folders, without directly exposing Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes to the Internet.
- Secure Authentication
- MXtreme provides an additional layer of authentication with support for hardware tokens such as SecurID and CryptoCard. MXtreme also works with RADIUS and LDAP for secured authentication, simplifying management and set-up.
- Return on Investment
- MXtreme’s Secure WebMail reduces the cost of deploying remote email access to your organisation by offering a strong and secure alternative to IPSec VPN. Managing an IPSec VPN is an expensive way to secure your organisation, especially if the only requirement your users have is to access corporate email. Based on industry metrics, managing IPSec VPN can cost over $140 per user per year (including administration time and software licensing), while MXtreme’s secure WebMail is included as part of the MXtreme Mail Firewall. MXtreme increases productivity by removing your dependency on unnecessary technologies, while still securing corporate email for your mobile workforce.
