Is your email more secure on-premise or in the cloud?

Tuesday, August 25, 2015

Email is the lifeblood of an organization. It’s the predominant way we communicate and get things done. For most employees, more time is spent using email than any other application. The average employee sends and receives 110 emails per day and spends approximately 2.5 hours using email every day. Stating the obvious, email is a business critical application. As such, the average organization devotes a substantial portion of IT resources to managing their email, keeping it secure, and ensuring it remains up and running. Organizations strive to do this as efficiently and effectively as possible, but with limited resources, security and downtime risks can be a very real threat. The purpose of this whitepaper is twofold:

  • Provide you with a deeper understanding of the factors that can impact your current email solution’s security risks and unplanned downtime (whether you are using on-premises Microsoft® Exchange Server, another in-house solution, “free” hosted email, or another third party hosted email provider).
  • Help you better compare and evaluate your current email solution and email security and risk of unplanned downtime, versus moving to a newer version of hosted Microsoft Exchange from FaithBasedEmail.com.

 

This whitepaper will focus exclusively on the dimensions of security and downtime as these are the mission-critical factors considered when evaluating your existing business email solution versus moving to FaithBasedEmail.com. This paper is not meant to be a feature comparison of the various email solutions, but rather a discussion of the security and downtime issues you might be facing with your current solution. Should you conclude that switching your current solution to FaithBasedEmail.com is right for your organization, we provide multiple options to meet your needs:

  •        Hosted Microsoft Exchange
  •        Dedicated Microsoft Exchange
  •        Hybrid Exchange (Hosted Exchange and Hosted web-based email
