Joining the trend of providing security technology as a service, Proofpoint on Tuesday announced a hosted version of its messaging-security offering. Company officials say Proofpoint on Demand offers enterprises the same antispam, antivirus and e-mail policy enforcement, and outbound-content monitoring as the company's existing appliance and software, but without the management headache of having to run appliances or software in-house. The company says it will distinguish itself in the expanding market for hosted messaging-security services -- currently including Postini (which Google last month announced it plans to acquire), Microsoft, Symantec, Trend Micro, McAfee, MessageLabs, and others -- by offering more flexible configurations. Customers of the new service will be able to mix and match components that include antispam, antivirus and zero-hour antivirus software; acceptable-use policy enforcement; outbound content filtering and others, the company says.
