Google security and archiving services, powered by Postini, make your existing email system more secure and compliant. Built on a hosted service platform, these products block spam, phishing, malware and other intrusions before they reach your network, and provide content management and archiving to help you meet legal challenges. Google’s hosted model offers several distinct  advantages. Leveraging the “network effect” of tens of thousands of email networks, Google technology detects new threats in real time and blocks them across the entire Google security network – without requiring on-site updates. Similarly, economies of scale in storage, simple deployment and maintenance-free service drive a low total cost of ownership.

Email Security - Protect and secure your existing email system. Filter out all messaging threats including spam and viruses before they reach your network. By routing inbound and outbound email through Google’s data centers, your administrator can activate robust security policies that keep your organization secure and compliant. Stop spam, viruses, phishing, denial of service (DoS), and other attacks. Allow end users to manage their own spam in an efficient manner. Create content-based policies for inbound and outbound traffic.

Email Archiving  – Simplify email retention with a central archive. Manage email retention with a centralized, searchable archive so administrators and users can locate email quickly. Capture and index all of your organization’s email and attachments in a centralized repository. Store email in redundant and secure Google data centers, creating a reliable, offsite backup. Search your archive using parameters such as date range, sender, recipient, subject and content. Place messages on hold to extend retention beyond assigned policies. Export search results to PST or MBOX format.
