When you click Log Off in Outlook Web Access, your mailbox becomes inaccessible to anyone else using that computer. • Use Outlook Web Access or Remote Procedure Call (RPC) over HTTP (which allows you to use Outlook over an Internet connection) instead of Remote Access to quickly check your e-mail. Always follow these security tips when using Outlook Web Access: • Make sure to clear the check box that offers to remember your password when using a public computer. • Never leave a computer or terminal you are using unattended. • Change your password frequently using a strong password. Strong passwords include the following: eight characters or more; upper and lower case characters, digits, and punctuation marks; no actual words in any language, slang, dialect, or jargon; not based on personal or family names. • Never select Remember my password at a logon box. • Always click Log Off when done with your session. • When accessing your e-mail remotely, avoid questionable networks, such as Internet cafés. • Change your password as soon as possible after using any publicly accessible Internet kiosk (such as at an airport). Public computers can contain malicious software created to steal your account and password information. • If you use a system that others have access to, close the browser completely after you log off Outlook Web Access to prevent others from accessing your account. • Choose Internet terminals that use strong encryption. To check the encryption level: 1. Open Internet Explorer and select Help>About Internet Explorer. 2. The encryption level/cipher strength will be listed. In general, 40-bit is weak, 56-bit is marginal, and 128-bit is strong. This document is for informational purposes only.
