First Impressions of Workshare
January 7th, 2009
I recently attended a Workshare training/demonstration at Microsoft’s Chicago campus and was impressed with the product. The Workshare product suite is great for securing your company’s intellectual property and other critical data. Workshare just recently released a network appliance that is designed to sit between your company’s intranet and the Internet acting as a gatekeeper. It can function as a MTA or just passively monitor your network traffic.
The appliance uses policies, created by the admin, to determine what characteristics to look for in emails, IMs, data transfers, and more. If it finds any of these characteristics the appliance puts a halt to the transmission. I am excited that we have decided to partner with them. MC+A will be implementing Workshare across our network.
