Enterprise Resource Gateway (ERG) is a reverse proxy that performs IIS rewrites to allow access to Microsoft Exchange resources (such as ActiveSync). This functionality exposes your Exchange Server as a public-facing server to the internet through the ERG and can leave the Exchange Server vulnerable to cyber attacks. Follow security best practices in the administration of Exchange Server as detailed in Microsoft's documentation and perform regular software updates when advised to do so. See Defending Exchange servers under attack.
