Beyond storage: Why email archiving can save the day

David Kelleheron April 10, 2014

How many email messages do you send each day? How many Email-is-not-dead-298x300do you receive? Like many regular users, you probably send over 30 messages per day and receive over 100.

We talked about how to secure those messages from attackers, but that’s only part of the problem inherent in managing an email system. There’s another type of outsider to whom you might someday have to give access to all those internal communications: the legal system. Regulatory agencies can demand to audit your mail system, or courts can subpoena stored mail messages that are evidentiary in nature as part of the discovery process in the event of a lawsuit or criminal charges.
