The product is available to all users. Because we suspected that people might be using it to transfer sensitive information, we're keeping detailed logs, limiting the time that the message is exposed, and are running everything physically in-house using official SSL certs. As sub-optimal as it is, I'd still rather have people use "stuff" that we can see, instead of seemingly free services like dropbox. -Kees *Dr. Kees Leune* Information Security Officer Adelphi University Garden City, NY +1 (516) 877-3936 On Mon, Jan 13, 2014 at 10:42 AM, Semmens, Theresa <theresa.semmens () ndsu edu

While the academics’ laptops are encrypted, it’s the unsecure circulation that creates a risk and I was wondering what approaches were being taken elsewhere.
