Outbound Email and Content Security in Today's Enterprise, 2007

Overview How concerned are companies about the content of email leaving their organizations? And how do companies manage the legal and financial risks associated with outbound email? To find out, Proofpoint and Forrester Consulting (a division of leading analyst firm Forrester) conducted an online survey of technology decision makers at 308 large US companies during June 2007.

Email has emerged as the most important medium for communications both inside and outside the enterprise. But the convenience and ubiquity of email as a business communications tool has exposed enterprises to a wide variety of new risks associated with outbound email.

This report summarizes the findings of Proofpoint's fourth-annual study, including surprising statistics about how large companies manage the risks associated with outbound email, blog postings, media sharing and other electronic communications streams.
