Email Security Alternatives: New Whitepaper Compares Proofpoint Enterprise, McAfee Email Gateway (Ciphertrust Ironmail, Secure Mail)
One trend we've been seeing in the enterprise email security market this year is that organizations are, increasingly, taking a closer look at their current email security stance and their choice of solutions.
In part, this is being driven by recent spam trends (targeted phishing attacks, low-volume hard-to-detect spam campaigns, etc.) and the continuing wave of high-profile data breaches that - in many cases - have started as a phishing attack.
Many customers of legacy email security solutions are seeing deteriorating anti-spam effectiveness or support from their current vendors. And at the same time, organizations are looking to add more robust data loss prevention and compliance capabilities than they get from their current email security solutions.
In some cases, enterprises are looking to move to a different deployment model (for example, moving from an on-premises, appliance-based environment to a cloud-based solution) and that will cause them to evaluate solutions from other vendors.
In response to this trend, Proofpoint recently published a new whitepaper that compares the Proofpoint Enterprise email security and DLP solution to the McAfee Email Gateway solution (formerly known as Ciphertrust's Ironmail and Secure Computing's Secure Mail solution).
In addition to a detailed comparison of the Proofpoint and McAfee solutions, this whitepaper also discusses some of the latest spam and malware trends I mentioned above and also provides a good overview of today's enterprise requirements for email security solutions (regardless of what solution you currently use).
