Connie,

 I'm not sure that you should make a business case for a particular product. Instead, you may want to make a business 
case for having a firewall in your environment. Your product selection can then flow from those decisions.

Subject: [SECURITY] ISA Server for Microsoft Exchange

I am told that we need an ISA Server for Microsoft Exchange. I am asking for the Reader's Digest condensed "english" 
explanation, but I am having a hard time getting it.  :)  Can anyone here offer an explanation that will help me to 
create a business case for this - for a non-technical audience? There is a lot of info on the web, but nothing pops out 
as useful. I need a translation from techno-speak to executive business need.

Thanks!
