Media Release: U.K. Council Chooses PGP Universal
PGP CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THAT U.K. BOROUGH COUNCIL
Bournemouth will use award-winning encryption solution to secure
Palo Alto, CA/28 October, 2004 - PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise encryption solutions, today announced that the Bournemouth Borough Council in Dorset, U.K., has selected PGP® Universal to secure electronic communications containing personal information between the Council and its residents, merchants, and other government agencies. "A great deal of the information held by the Council is private, including personal and health information, data about schools and students, and tax and voting records," said Fred Baert, Bournemouth's Information Communication Technology (ICT) Security Officer. "The 1998 Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information Act both require the Council to ensure the security of electronic communications, and the Council's own security policy states that confidential information must be encrypted. PGP Corporation is the market leader in encryption, so choosing a PGP solution seemed like the right thing to do." "Regulatory mandates and societal concerns continue to pressure all types of organizations to secure confidential information in electronic communications," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO for PGP Corporation. "We are pleased the Bournemouth Borough Council chose PGP Universal to help comply with requirements for encrypting private data transmitted via email."
