Summary: This article, by ISA Firewall specialist Thomas Shinder, explains that earlier versions of ISA Firewall (2000 and 2004) included navigation protection.  Navigation protection ensures that if a user goes to another website, such as Google, without logging off OWA, ISA automatically logs the user off.  With navigation protection, administrators can rest assured that users are not leaving active OWA sessions behind.

ISA Firewall 2006 no longer includes navigation protection.  This is explained in more detail in an ISA Security report published by Messageware Incorporated (
ISA Security Report: OWA Security Issues Undetected by ISA Server) referenced in Thomas Shinder’s article.

Summary: The article gives an overview of an OWA attachment solution called AttachView by Messageware, which lets users safely view a wide array of attachments without ever downloading the file to the local computer.  AttachView offers users secure access to attachments via an enhanced viewing window with features such as: view Microsoft Word Track Changes revisions, a hyperlinked table of contents, printer-friendly version, rotate and zoom buttons.

Administrators can set rules giving users access to users to open, save and print attachments based on criteria such as IP address, username, hostname and if they are connecting from a corporate device.
