New Proofpoint-powered email security service

Proofpoint and MessageOne announced the availability of comprehensive outsourced spam and virus protection through a managed service powered by Proofpoint technology. MessageOne’s new EMS Email Security service is based on the Proofpoint Protection Server software, providing MessageOne customers with full protection against inbound message-borne threats.

MessageOne’s EMS suite of managed services is designed to maximize email continuity for enterprise customers. With the rapid increase of spam and virus attacks facing enterprise environments, the company has extended its email continuity services by providing all-in-one protection from security threats and email downtime in an easy-to-adopt, fully managed solution. EMS combines Proofpoint’s best-of-breed messaging security solutions with MessageOne’s EMS platform to create a managed service that is unique in the market.

Unlike any other email security managed service, EMS Email Security is fully integrated with Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, and Active Directory. It’s the only managed service to leverage real-time directory synchronization to fully automate user management and to ensure that invalid addresses are blocked at the perimeter. Unlike other managed services, EMS allows users to manage safe / block lists directly from Microsoft Outlook.
