Solution Brief for Financial Services

Data is your currency. Defend it.

As in other industries where personal or sensitive data is a precious commodity, financial services companies need to comply with a variety of regulations as well as industry and partner mandates to protect customer privacy. Data encryption helps meet these requirements, defending confidential and proprietary data—even if it’s leaked on lost devices or through hacking incidents.

PGP® encryption solutions are used by 9 of the top 10 Fortune® 100 commercial banks, making PGP Corporation a leading data security provider for the financial services industry.

The PGP® Encryption Platform and integrated applications defend your data, wherever it goes.
