Talking FISMA, Cloud Computing and Secure Messaging: Proofpoint and Proofpoint Customers in the News

A couple of recent news items I wanted to point out in case you haven't seen them.

First, our VP of Technology, Andres Kohn chatted with security blogger Alan Shimel for his ashimmy blog Security.EXE podcast. Andres and Alan talk about Proofpoint's work with Microsoft on what might be the biggest federal deployment of cloud technology to date (at the USDA), FISMA compliance and the ongoing battle between Microsoft and Google for cloud dominance.

Next, Proofpoint customer Kelsey-Seybold Clinic of Houston, TX is included in a recent Healthcare Informatics feature, "Secure Messaging via the Cloud and Mobile Devices." In that article, Martin Littmann, director IT systems for Kelsey-Seybold, briefly describes how that healthcare system uses Proofpoint's SaaS email security and data loss prevention solutions to help ensure the security of sensitive data.

Finally, we recently published a new customer case study on Adventist Health, a large California-based health system, that uses Proofpoint's cloud-based solutions for email security, HIPAA compliance and data loss prevention.
