Today's the day: signups open for free Google Message Security for K-12 schools

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Last week we announced we will begin globally offering email security free to current and new eligible K-12 Google Apps Education users that opt-in by July 2010 – and starting today eligible schools can learn how to opt-in to enable Google Message Security for their domain.

Google Message Security – powered by Postini – provides the capability for administrators to limit messages based on who they are from, where they are going, or the content they contain. Message rules can be applied to groups of users, allowing customization for different user sets (like younger students, older students, and teachers).

To further celebrate our support of K12, we launched the Google Apps Education Community site for educators and students to share and learn more about Google Apps, as well as the Google Apps Education resource center with more than 20 classroom-ready lesson plans – and we're committed to providing even more educational resources in the future, as the Google Apps Education community grows.

If you know of a K-12 school or educator who might benefit from this opportunity, please share this post with them. Many thanks for your ongoing support of Google Apps in education.

Great addition... It seems to me that this may just sway some of the decision makers with the choice of keeping email in-house or moving to the cloud.

Postini was an exciting acquisition and it's great to see the new service being added to the free Education Community package!

Why not Higher Ed? It's not like we have any larger budgets than K-12 ;)
