PGP CORPORATION EXPANDS CAPABILITIES OF POPULAR
PGP UNIVERSAL SECURE MESSAGING FOR ENTERPRISES
IBM Lotus Notes/Domino Server support, BlackBerry support, and
Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine now standard features
Palo Alto, CA/07 July, 2004 - PGP Corporation, a global
leader in digital information security, today released the newest
version of PGP® Universal. IBM Lotus® Notes users
and those requiring enterprise-level antivirus scanning now can
incorporate PGP Universal 1.2 as part of their enterprise
secure-messaging solution.
PGP Universal is a server-based, enterprise-level,
secure-messaging solution that addresses several critical
technology requirements of leading organizations:
- Automatic and transparent for its users by moving email
security from the desktop to the network
- Two-way policy enforcement to help ensure compliance with
security policies by external suppliers, partners, resellers, and
customers-even when they are without keys
- Extends existing IT infrastructure investments with support
for OpenPGP, X.509, and S/MIME standards plus integration with
existing LDAP directories, public key infrastructure (PKI), and
PGP Desktop deployments
- Lower total cost of ownership by eliminating the user
training and IT deployment expenses associated with desktop
solutions
"Three critical technology criteria demanded by large
organizations have been met with this release of PGP
Universal," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO
of PGP Corporation. "Lotus Notes and BlackBerry users now
have additional secure-messaging options. And for organizations
needing enterprise-level antivirus scanning and filtering, PGP
Universal provides simplified management and integration using
Symantec's superior antivirus scanning and file blocking
technologies."
New features in PGP Universal 1.2:
- IBM Lotus Notes/DominoT Server Support - PGP Universal
Satellite for Windows now supports Lotus Notes email clients in a
Domino server environment. Organizations using Lotus
Notes' built-in, internally focused email security now
have the option to extend secure messaging to both S/MIME and PGP
users outside the company firewall.
- Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine integrates enterprise-quality
virus scanning from Symantec into the PGP Universal Server.
- Outgoing messages and attachments are scanned before they
are encrypted and incoming messages are scanned immediately
after decryption. Infected attachments are either repaired or
deleted.
- Email attachments that have file names or file extensions
specified as suspect are blocked. When a new virus appears,
this feature quickly protects the network by blocking the virus
while waiting for the latest virus definitions from
Symantec.
- Compatibility between BlackBerry Enterprise ServerT and
gateway deployments of PGP Universal - Customers using the S/MIME
Support Package for BlackBerry can now load X.509 certificates
into the PGP Universal Server to achieve automatic email
encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and policy
enforcement for BlackBerry users in the gateway. PGP Corporation
and Research In Motion (RIM) have developed a joint configuration
guide to help enterprises successfully deploy PGP Universal and
BlackBerry Enterprise Server in complex network
environments.
Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine
The Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine provides high-performance,
scalable, and reliable virus protection for traffic served through,
or stored on, network infrastructure services, applications, and
devices. The Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine employs award-winning
technologies to detect and repair viruses, worms, and Trojan horses
in all major file types, including mobile code and compressed file
formats. Virus definitions and engines are updated automatically
with no interruption in virus scanning. To ensure highly scalable
virus protection, the solution easily accommodates growing traffic
volumes with automatic load balancing across multiple servers.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server
BlackBerry is the industry-leading wireless platform that
connects mobile professionals to their important information and
communications via email, phone, corporate data, Web, SMS and
organizer applications. For corporate and government organizations,
BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with
Microsoft ® Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino and works with
existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based, wireless
access to existing email and other corporate data.
PGP Universal Server
PGP Universal provides practical, wide-scale deployment of
secure messaging. By moving email encryption responsibility away
from users to the network, encryption, decryption, and digital
signatures are automatic and user-transparent. Messages are
encrypted to individual keypairs and secured even when recipients
have no keys. PGP Universal can quickly and cost-effectively secure
up to 100% of an enterprise's users-both inside and outside
the organization. PGP Universal supports both OpenPGP and X.509 +
S/MIME standards and delivers low-cost deployment through its
self-deploying, proxy-based architecture. Keys are created
dynamically, allowing IT control over bidirectional policy
enforcement. PGP Universal Server, available worldwide through PGP
Corporation and approved resellers, includes support for BlackBerry
as part of standard pricing. Annual subscription licenses of
Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine capability are available as a bundle
with PGP Universal products. PGP Corporation will provide
first-level support through PGP engineers with Symantec AntiVirus
Scan Engine certifications, backed by Symantec Platinum
support.
