Is using Enterprise Manage across the internet secure?

If I am using enterprise manager across the internet to access an SQL Server
, is it secure? Can I make database changes, passwords changes and view con
fidential table data securely. Or do I need to use another mechanism.Enterprise Manager is just an application, it sounds like you are worried
about the data transferred over the wire. If so, you should look into SSL
encryption.
