    Secure Messaging and Authentication
    The Proofpoint Secure Messaging module adds powerful, content-aware encryption capabilities to your Proofpoint deployment, automatically encrypting messages based on your organization's policies. Sensitive information can easily be encrypted for specific domains or business partners, or in response to regulatory compliance and data privacy concerns.

    Hardened Components, Enterprise-class Performance
    The Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway delivers complete confidence in operations with the scalability, availability and performance demanded by large enterprises, university and government organizations.

    Hardened, Redundant Components for Maximum Availability
    Custom manufactured by Dell to Proofpoint specifications, the Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway is designed for the most demanding enterprise messaging environments. High availability is assured by redundant power supplies, network interfaces and storage components. And users enjoy a single contact for hardware support backed up by Dell's world-class field service team.

    Software components are equally secure:
    • A custom hardened, Linux-based OS with included Email Firewall provides a secure runtime environment, fine-tuned for messaging applications.
    • A hardened, industry standard MTA makes Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway more reliable than other appliances built on proprietary MTAs.
    • Software and firmware components are automatically kept up-to-date via the Dynamic Update Service.
    • User, file and command access are strictly enforced, reducing the likelihood of security breaches.

    Flexible Deployment, Optional Scalability
    The P600, P800, and P1000 gateway appliances are highly scalable and can be easily deployed in industry-standard cluster configurations to support complex or geographically-distributed data centers. Different gateway models can be cost-effectively deployed in any combination to support tens of millions of messages per day.
    • Easy management for low TCO: Proofpoint's optimal scalability lets you manage all agent gateways from a single master console. Automatic configuration propagation, a centralized message quarantine and centralized reporting simplify maintenance and reduce total cost of ownership.

    • Rapid deployment: The Proofpoint Messaging Security Gateway deploys in a matter of minutes, immediately protecting your email users from all message-born threats. It features 100% browser-based configuration and is interoperable with any email server solution.

    • Graphical reports: More than 45 graphical reports and alerts give complete visibility.

    • End-user controls: Give each user personalized control over spam policies with end-user digests, personalized quarantines and personal safe- and block-lists.
