Proofpoint CEO Gary Steele Featured in May 2009 SC Magazine

Yep, that's Proofpoint CEO Gary Steele on the cover of the May 2009 issue of SC Magazine UK. This cover story is the result of a recent visit to Proofpoint by SC Mag editor Paul Fisher -- who was a good sport and let me interview him for my "Perspectives on Email" video series (you can watch that video on Proofpoint's YouTube channel).

Paul talked with Gary about today's IT security challenges, blended threats, the evolving email security landscape and a lot more, including the current economic recession. It's a really interesting read, even if you're not a hardcore security type!

SC Interviews Proofpoint Chief Executive Gary Steele

The print version of the publication notes that a couple of additional interviews with Proofpoint execs Paul Auvil (CFO) and Andres Kohn (VP of our email archiving business) will also be online at some point.

Update: You can find these articles here - Proofpoint: Talking Financials and Economics and Proofpoint: The Threat Landscape.

That same issue of SC Magazine includes a good technology briefing article, Email Security Remains a Threat, which discusses the current trends in spam, malware, cloud-based email filtering (including our own Proofpoint SHIELD product), email encryption, DLP and mobile email. Well worth a read!
