The Latest in "Hybrids": Deployment Models for Email Security

IDC Analyst Brian Burke on the Benefits of Combining Hosted Services and On-Premises Deployment Models


IDC analyst connection"Hybrid" has become one of the latest buzzwords in the information security market, especially with regard to messaging security. In the messaging security market, hybrid solutions combine the email hygiene benefits of an in-the-cloud hosted service with the granular policy enforcement, encryption, and data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities of an on-premises software or appliance-based solution.

IDC believes a hybrid security architecture provides a higher degree of security and addresses more security requirements than a single deployment model. In this exclusive whitepaper, IDC analyst Brian Burke answers questions about the trend toward hybrid deployments, including:

  • Is deploying a hybrid solution preferable to being "locked in" to just one method of deployment?
  • What email security components should you have on premises versus in the cloud?
  • What are the benefits of hybrid deployment models?
  • What are the benefits of choosing a single vendor for your hybrid email security deployment?
