Symantec Solutions for
Microsoft Exchange 2010
Safely access your data wherever it is. Symantec solutions help protect your Exchange data — when it is sent via email, or in the systems and storage where it resides.

Overview

Innovative companies are responding to the challenge of supporting an increasingly mobile workforce. Providing secure information is not without its difficulties. Symantec uses an end-to-end multi-layered approach to protect Exchange and the data it holds. This enables you to:
  • Keep bad things out
  • Keep good things in
  • Be ready to handle the unexpected
With Symantec, the same solutions that protect Exchange can also protect Windows Server, SharePoint, SQL, Active Directory, and many other server types. This allows your IT administrators to:
  • Simplify the administration of the IT environment
  • Provide consistent data protection wherever data is stored
  • Reduce data management cost and complexity throughout the organization

Defend

When working with Exchange, one of the first things to consider is how to keep the bad things out. Since the majority of malicious code, spam, and viruses enter organizations via email, protection needs to start there—before the email ever gets to the Exchange server.
Symantec provides mail security to meet any organization’s needs with options to run locally on the Exchange server to:
  • Filter spam at the messaging gateway (offloading Exchange)
  • Filter email in the cloud before it ever reaches the network
  • Offer best-of-breed spam prevention that is more than 99% effective, and with 1 in 1 million false positives

Protect

It is equally important to make sure confidential data isn’t leaving the organization. Companies need to find and protect confidential data wherever it is stored. This includes the Exchange message database or.pst files. Symantec, the recognized world leader in Data Loss Prevention, delivers a proven, content-aware solution to discover, monitor and protect confidential data wherever it is stored or used.
This solution allows IT administrators to measurably:
  • Reduce your risk of a data breach
  • Demonstrate regulatory compliance
  • Safeguard customer privacy, brand equity and intellectual property
Lets your workforce stay productive by accessing information on Exchange servers, while IT administrators can monitor and protect any confidential data from leaving your organization via email. Symantec Data Loss Prevention can help IT administrators:
  • Stop the loss of confidential data through email blocking or encryption
  • Gain visibility into where confidential information is stored in Exchange servers or .pst files
  • Demonstrate compliance with internal and government regulations

Prepare

In addition to protecting the flow of information in and out of the organization, companies should also be prepared for the unexpected. Is your company ready? Here are some scenarios that solutions from Symantec can help manage:
  • A request from legal to produce all emails by a certain individual or related to a specific subject within the next 24 hours
  • Accidentally lost or deliberately deleted email that needs to be recovered quickly
  • Protection against business downtime due to hardware failure or mailbox data corruption
  • A disaster recovery plan that can actually be tested and validated before the disaster happens

Symantec Solutions

Symantec Enterprise Vault archiving is automated and policy-controlled for active retention and seamless retrieval of messages and attachments.

Symantec Enterprise Vault helps IT administrators:
  • Keep Exchange Message Stores at predictable levels
  • Optimize storage through tiered and deduplication of data
  • Eliminate mailbox quotas and .pst files
Backup & Recovery

Symantec Backup Exec provides for recovery of individual messages, folders and mailboxes, and allows IT administrators to eliminate running separate mailbox (MAPI) backups.
