security of OWA

[mellum nav]

Hi I'm being told by my employer that outlook web access is not being made
available as there are security concerns about it. Surely this isnt true!,
what information can I provide to my employer that would address their
concerns.

Thanks

Hi dont know what the reason is, appears to be security through obscurity.
previously I've seen OWA protected by secureID and VPN.
I think the concern is that company confidential data could be stored on
employee computers

still looking for resources about OWA security.

Consider addressing this in micosoft.public.exchange.clients, which is where
OWA issues are addressed, since OWA is part of Exchange.
