Webroot Provides Channel Partners with Enhanced Email Security Management
January 2011 by Marc Jacob
Webroot, the first Internet security service company, announced the latest release of Webroot® Email Security Service. As managed service providers, systems integrators and other resellers often take on the role of IT administrator for their customers’ security, this update provides Webroot’s channel partners with a consolidated view of all end users — giving them more flexibility to quickly and easily manage user provisioning, and saving them valuable time that can be rededicated to more profitable activities.
Approximately 95 per cent of Webroot channel partners serve as IT administrators for a portion of their customers. The enhanced Webroot Email Security Service simplifies the management of securing individual users for these channel partners, as well as for in-house IT administrators.
Webroot Email Security Service allows administrators to add or edit users individually or in bulk file uploads, and the ability to un-delete users. In addition, Webroot’s enhancements make it easier to configure site usage policies globally – either for all users or for select groups. It also provides administrators with three views of the user list for additional insights into activities.
