Proofpoint Enhances Security and Compliance Platform to Enable the Mobile Enterprise
SUNNYVALE, CA, Mar 15, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Proofpoint, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise cloud-based
email security, archiving and data loss prevention solutions, today
announced Proofpoint Mobile, a family of applications that extend the
company's industry-leading email security, compliance and archiving
solutions to mobile devices. The mobile solutions run on Proofpoint
CloudControl, a security and compliance platform, and are delivered
either through light-weight native applications or mobile-optimized
web-based applications. This ensures that users and administrators
have a familiar user experience on their device of choice and further
minimizes mobile deployment costs. With Proofpoint, Global 2000
enterprises can quickly and easily integrate secure and compliant
mobile communications into their organizations through scalable and
cost-effective cloud-based applications.
Featured in the new application set are Proofpoint Mobile Encryption,
Proofpoint Mobile Archive and Proofpoint Mobile Dashboard:
-- Part of the Proofpoint Enterprise Privacy Suite(TM), Proofpoint
Mobile Encryption(TM) offers powerful policy-driven encryption and
decryption capabilities that mitigate the risks associated with
regulatory and corporate policy violations, and also mitigate data
loss. The Decrypt Assist feature enables one-click decryption for
users on mobile devices. Also available is a BlackBerry plug-in
feature for easy message encryption on BlackBerry phones.
-- Powered by Proofpoint Enterprise Archive(TM), Proofpoint Mobile
Archive(TM) places the power of an infinite inbox into mobile users'
hands and provides on-demand access to multiple years' worth of email
information at the touch of a button. No longer confined to the
storage limitations of mobile devices, users can be more productive by
searching for any email across many years, by topic, when they need
it, regardless of where they are.
-- Proofpoint Mobile Dashboard(TM) is a companion tool for IT staff
that are managing or implementing Proofpoint Enterprise
Protection(TM). The Dashboard gives instant access to Proofpoint's
security and Call Tracking System (CTS) information, which provides
critical security information such as global spam effectiveness,
deployment stats and customer tracking tickets. Now, administrators
can monitor and report on security and compliance status from anywhere
and at anytime.

"Corporate employees want instant access to data and applications
from any device, anywhere and at any time. IT groups are pressured
from below and above -- from employees and executives -- to allow
usage of employee-owned smartphones, tables and laptops with internal
IT systems. However, IT organizations are struggling to find the
right approach to secure these consumerized devices," says Phil
Hochmuth, program manager of IDC's Security Products research group.
"Many enterprise security teams now regard cloud-based security
technology as the best approach to provide effective security
controls that allow non-corporate mobile devices to mix safely with
enterprise networks, applications and data."
"The Proofpoint mobile application with decrypt assist from
Proofpoint has been on Guaranty Bank's wish list," said Kenneth
Johnston, CIO and vice president of information systems at Guaranty
Bank. "What I am really excited about is that Proofpoint mobile
encryption can run on a variety of smartphones. Our users have many
different types of mobile phones, and the one-click access to decrypt
messages makes this a very seamless process for them."
"The ability to quickly search and view any email I've ever sent or
received from my iPhone is a real productivity booster, as if I had
Exchange in my pocket," said Steven Heller, chief technology officer
at Graubard Miller. "It's applications such as this that further
validate our decision to go with Proofpoint's SaaS archiving
solution, since we immediately benefit from Proofpoint's continued
investment in its cloud platform."
"Employees and executives are demanding the ability to use their
personal consumer devices for work, and they are using them whether
their company allows it or not. The Proofpoint CloudControl platform
is enabling mobile email security and compliance, ensuring corporate
IT can meet its requirements while allowing employees to utilize a
new generation of consumer devices," said Peter Galvin, chief
marketing officer, Proofpoint. "We recognize that security and
compliance must be interwoven into any mobile initiative. Without it,
costly data breaches and compliance violations will occur. Our
cloud-based mobile applications will allow any enterprise to welcome
consumer-based technology into its communications fold."
