title: How safe is DirectLine?
body: <p>I have seen a number of posts where developers want to have their clients talk to their Bot directly without using DirectLine, or alternatively emulate DirectLine within their intranet. The most common reason is that their companies are not cloud-ready.</p>
  
  <p>Instead of asking HOW, I want to ask for more information about DirectLine that I can present back to my technology committee. How is direct line secured? How are messages encrypted? Are messages logged anywhere? Are messages retained anywhere at rest?</p>
  
  <p>Can someone point me to a good source of this type of information?</p>
