Email Encryption and Proofpoint 6: New Encryption Solution, New Email Security Platform

We're excited to announce our next-generation email security and data loss prevention platform, Proofpoint 6, today. The underlying engine behind Proofpoint's SaaS, appliance, virtual appliance and software email security solutions, new features in Proofpoint 6 are aimed at providing "defense in depth" data loss prevention features.

To that end, the new platform includes a new email encryption component, Proofpoint Encryption, that combines symmetric key encryption with a cloud-based key management service to create an extremely easy-to-deploy and easy-to-use policy-based email encryption solution.

In the video embedded in this post, product marketing manager Ken Liao gives a quick "chalk talk" overview of the new Proofpoint Encryption solution.
