Microsoft has made significant progress securing Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 but vulnerabilities still exist. This free download outlines 10 steps you can use to mitigate potential problems before they become major issues.
Here’s a sample:
Number 10: Password protect your PST files – This is especially important for laptop users as the PST files could hold the keys to the kingdom if someone got their hands on your files. While Exchange users can’t do this, smaller shops using Outlook with other mail systems can. To add a password to your PST file, right-click the top level folder and choose the Properties option from the shortcut menu. Click the Advanced button and, on the resulting screen, click the Change Password button. Enter the new password as well as its verification and click OK.
