Google has unveiled a series of security products Powered by Postini(tm) that deliver message filtering, encryption and archiving for any business environment.
With pricing starting as low as 3 dollars per user per year, the new security services are capable of working with any mail system, including Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange, and Novell Groupwise.
"As threats rise in volume and complexity, and compliance requirements pile up, IT is struggling to find the resources to keep up," said Scott Petry, director of product management, Google.
"Now, Google can take care of this for you. Organizations of all shapes and sizes can get access to Google's industry leading security and compliance technologies."
The new series includes Google Message Filtering, Google Message Security and Google Message Discovery and are part of the Google Apps platform.
Google believes that its new security products will help companies of all sizes seeking solutions to the challenge of security and compliance. For instance, outbound message filtering helps prevent sensitive data from going outside the company firewall, which could result in identity theft or compromise a client's personal information. Also, increasing industry regulations are creating demand for better message storage, with quick and easy retrieval.
The new packages are available immediately online, direct from Google, and through channel partners, and can be deployed within hours.
The Google Apps suite also includes Gmail(tm) email services, Google Docs(tm) for documents, spreadsheets and presentations, Google Calendar(tm) shared calendaring, Google Talk(tm) instant messaging, and the Start Page feature for creating a customizable home page. Policy management and 90-day message discovery services are also available at no additional charge to Google Apps Premier Edition users. |
