Microsoft Exchange Server has been a crucial technological breakthrough in advanced corporate communication systems. Companies who utilize an enterprise-class email server like Exchange believe that email is mission critical, and value the productivity it enables.

Osterman Research wants to make it clear at the outset that we believe Microsoft Office 365 to be a robust and capable platform, one that will serve most organizations well. If your organization is using Office 365, we recommend you continue to do so. If you’re not using it, we recommend you consider it. Microsoft offers a large, varied and growing number of features and functions in Office 365, and at a wide range of price points that will satisfy different markets.
Decision makers evaluating the efficacy of Office 365 to meet their business requirements must be aware of its shortcomings in the areas of data protection, archiving, security, encryption, authentication and eDiscovery (among others) covering workloads like Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Skype for Business, and Azure Active Directory. An awareness of these shortcomings enables decision makers to plan for the mitigations required to assure the proper business performance of Office 365.
In this report by Osterman Research, you’ll learn about the reducing the limits of Microsoft Office 365 including potential data loss, security risks, missing recovery functions and more.
This whitepaper discusses the critical importance of finding a better alternative to email as a file-sharing mechanism. It also provides information on the sponsor of this white paper – Attachmate – and its relevant solutions.
From email to Dropbox and FTP, the file transfer process in most organizations is fraught with risk and simply does not meet most organizations’ corporate governance requirements. The result is that the status quo of file transfer in most organizations can be considered UFT—or Unmanaged File Transfer.
What is needed to overcome the problem, therefore, is Managed File Transfer (MFT)—a solution that will enable complete control over content, its lifecycle, access rights to that information, the maintenance of an audit trail, and disposition of data according to corporate governance requirements.
This white paper, sponsored by Attachmate and based on a survey conducted by Osterman Research, describes current file transfer practices and the extent of risk that organizations face by not managing file transfer properly. It also explains the benefits of MFT, provides guidelines for evaluating file transfer vendors, and describes FileXpress®, Attachmate’s MFT solution.
This free email encryption whitepaper from Osterman Research discusses key issues around the encryption of both email and file transfer systems, some of the leading statutes that require sensitive content to be encrypted, and suggestions for moving forward with encryption.

Gehostete (d. h. webbasierte) Lösungen für Messaging-Sicherheit finden bei Unternehmen aller Größen immer mehr Anklang. Einige haben sich bereits für gehostete Services entschieden, während andere sich langsam mit der Idee anfreunden und nun eher Services von Dritten zur Verwaltung ihrer Sicherheits-infrastruktur nutzen als noch vor einem Jahr. Entscheidungsträger erkennen gerade jetzt im Zuge der aktuellen Wirtschaftskrise, dass gehostete Lösungen für E-Mail-Sicherheit eine kostengünstige Alternative darstellen und gleichzeitig die Sicherheit erhöhen.

In this white paper, Osterman Research discusses how the daily occurrence of malware within organizations has become decidedly worse over the past several years.
Data breaches can carry very serious consequences, such as the revelation in February 2008 that that the Hannaford Brothers chain of supermarkets lost more than four million debit and credit card numbers to hackers. The bottom line is that organizations must implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems to protect themselves against the growing array of threats they face from inadvertent and malicious data leaks from email, instant messaging and other systems.
