Google has launched a series of tools designed to help users manage their email security, following its acquisition of Postini last year.
Google's new security services work with any mail system, including Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange, and Novell Groupwise.
Pricing starts from £1.50 per user per year and customers can sign up online via the Google Apps platform.
"As threats rise in volume and complexity, and compliance requirements pile up, IT is struggling to find the resources to keep up," said Scott Petry, director of product management, Google. "Now, Postini services offered by Google can take care of this for you. Organisations of all shapes and sizes can now get access to Google's industry leading security and compliance technologies."
Companies of all sizes are seeking solutions to the challenge of security and compliance. For instance, outbound message filtering helps prevent sensitive data from going outside the company firewall, which could result in identity theft or compromise a client's personal information. Also, increasing industry regulations are creating demand for better message storage, with quick and easy retrieval.
The new packages are part of the Google Apps platform and are available at www.google.com/a/security.
