Four Questions On Google App Security
Two members of Google's application security team explain why the future belongs in the computing cloud -- and how Google Apps is dealing with the constant barrage of security threats
By Bill Brenner, Senior Editor
How is Google using the recently-acquired Postini filtering service to address application security concerns?
Swidler: We really continue to sell Postini as a separate offering, separate from Google Apps, for companies that are still running their own e-mail servers such as Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange. We have taken a big chunk of Postini's technology and incorporated it into the Gmail client. But the heaviest usage is still among companies that have not yet switched to the cloud. But given how Postini technology has been incorporated into Google Apps, companies using Postini are in a better position to make the switch over to cloud computing.
