Webroot Upgrades Web Security and E-Mail Security SaaS Products

New features address legal, regulatory and compliance requirements.

Webroot, an Internet security provider for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, has announced its new release of Webroot Web Security SaaS and Webroot E-Mail Security Saas. Enhancements to the products include Web browsing quotas and a new e-mail encryption service.

The new release of Webroot Web Security SaaS includes quota support. This enables organizations to set, monitor and enforce granular Internet use policies for bandwidth, time spent surfing and number of Web sites visited. Quotas can be controlled independently and provide options to block or warn the user, e-mail administrator or simply log the event.

Webroot E-Mail Security SaaS now includes several end-user and administrator usability enhancements as well as a new policy-based e-mail encryption service. The new Webroot  E-Mail Encryption Service helps businesses meet legal, compliance and regulatory standards by automatically encrypting e-mail messages based on company e-mail policy. This policy-based encryption service expands data loss prevention capabilities and improves the secure handling of confidential company data.

"With the continued growth in volume and maliciousness of Web  threats," says Webroot's general manager, SaaS, Don Beck, "businesses today require more robust functionality to manage security as well as employee Internet use." He adds, "For e-mail security, e-mail encryption is becoming required by law. Organizations are increasingly faced with legal, regulatory and compliance requirements. Our new Web and e-mail security services address these concern."
