Cloud Email Services and Security Profiles for Mobile Devices

[Martin Manjak <mm376 () ALBANY EDU>]

This question is for anyone who has migrated email services to the cloud
(Google, MS@Live) for faculty and staff.

Have you deployed security policies (password requirement(s), limit on
authentication attempts, encryption, remote wipe) to mobile devices that
are used to access these cloud services, and the institutional data
stored there?

Both Google and MS offer the capability of pushing security
policies/settings to mobile devices (within a certain range of products
and manufacturers), and it would certainly be interesting to hear from
anyone who has actually attempted this.
