Media Release: New PGP Webcast on Choosing an Encryption Solution

PGP CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NEXT LIVE WEBCAST IN THE PGP EDUCATION SERIES WITH THE SANS INSTITUTE

PGP Corporation's CTO/CSO will address key criteria for choosing encryption solutions

Palo Alto, CA/22 September, 2004 - PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise encryption solutions, will present the next in its popular PGP Education Series in conjunction with the SANS Institute's Tool Talk webcasts on September 23, 2004, at 1:00 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC). The "Top 10 Things to Know When Choosing an Encryption Solution" webcast will feature Jon Callas, CTO and chief security officer of PGP Corporation, and Jim Reavis, president of Reavis Consulting. The webcast emphasizes the need of solutions to support key encryption standards and be based on proven technology. Registration for this webcast is available at https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90516.

The challenge to do more with less impacts all security professionals seeking to implement an encryption solution for enterprise messaging. Making successful long-term buying decisions relies on understanding the key decision criteria and avoiding the pitfalls of "too-good-to-be-true" products. In this webcast, Mr. Callas explores the top 10 questions security professionals should ask vendors-from the role of standards compatibility and industry experience to the issues of product interoperability and business partner impact. The webcast helps security professionals select the optimal encryption solution for their enterprise.

"The most important thing to consider in choosing any software solution is how long you honestly think the technology will be in use," says Callas. "That means relying on technology that's been tested by actual human beings over a period of time and is supported by an established vendor with a solid reputation in the industry. To do otherwise is to risk your organization's success on an application that may end up creating problems rather than solving them."
