While email threats continue to grow and evolve, organizations are demanding more from their IT teams – more protection, more efficiency and more flexibility. To meet these demands, IT teams need more flexibility to architect solutions that address these business imperatives. Flexibility provides choice in deployment options for email security and falls under three board categories. First, there are customers that want to improve operational efficiency by outsourcing the problem of spam through the use of cloud or software as a service (SaaS) solutions. The second includes customers that want to maintain maximum control of sensitive outbound information through the deployment of on-premises email security infrastructure. The third category encompasses customers that want to use a hybrid (or divided) approach – which includes use of cloud solutions for efficiency while still maintaining the benefits of an on-premises appliance-based deployment.
