MessageOne Introduces New Proofpoint-powered Email Security Service
30 December 2006
Proofpoint, Inc., the leader in large-enterprise messaging security solutions and MessageOne, a leading business continuity and email management vendor, today announced the availability of comprehensive outsourced spam and virus protection through a managed service powered by Proofpoint technology. MessageOne's new EMS(TM) Email Security service is based on the Proofpoint Protection Server(R) software, providing MessageOne customers with full protection against inbound message-borne threats.
MessageOne's EMS suite of managed services is designed to maximize email continuity for enterprise customers. With the rapid increase of spam and virus attacks facing enterprise environments, the company has extended its email continuity services by providing all-in-one protection from security threats and email downtime in an easy-to-adopt, fully managed solution. EMS combines Proofpoint's best-of-breed messaging security solutions with MessageOne's EMS platform to create a managed service that is unique in the market. Unlike any other email security managed service, EMS Email Security is fully integrated with Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, and Active Directory. It's the only managed service to leverage real-time directory synchronization to fully automate user management and to ensure that invalid addresses are blocked at the perimeter. Unlike other managed services, EMS allows users to manage safe / block lists directly from Microsoft Outlook.
"We are focused on providing customers with affordable business continuity solutions to protect their information technology assets," said MessageOne CEO Satin Mirchandani. "Proofpoint's technology was the natural choice to power our new email security service because like our EMS suite, it offers extreme accuracy, reliability, and ease of use. Through our partnership with Proofpoint, we now provide complete spam and virus protection that can be quickly deployed, integrates directly with customers' email directories, and includes all hardware, software, administration and support."
"MessageOne understands that email is one of the most mission-critical enterprise applications," said Gary Steele, CEO of Proofpoint. "Working with Proofpoint, MessageOne now offers the industry's most advanced and effective email security as part of its comprehensive offering of integrated email continuity, archive and recovery solutions."
The MessageOne EMS Email Security service combines Proofpoint MLX(TM) machine learning technology with the ease of adoption of MessageOne's industry-leading EMS Email Continuity service. MessageOne EMS Email Security customers benefit from Proofpoint's unrivaled spam detection, which delivers the industry's highest effectiveness and lowest rate of false positives. In addition, Proofpoint's advanced virus protection features provide always up- to-date protection against all types of email-borne malware including viruses, worms and trojans.
