How is Collaboration Messaging different from normal email?
Standard Email is inherently insecure. When you send an email message the information is transmitted from point to point across the Internet. It can be stored for some time on the sending email server, and usually for an even longer period on the receiving machine. At any point along the way the message can be intercepted and read by unscrupulous systems administrators or hackers.Although the messaging component of CS looks very similar to a standard email program such as webmail, it works on an entirely different philosophy. Messages are never sent across the Internet in clear text. SSL is used to encrypt the message as it is entered into the Collaboration Messaging program. The data is then immediately stored on our CS server in an encrypted database. Your critical business information can never be read by anyone except the intended recipient.
