Press Release: Riding the Wave of Interest in Enterprise Data Protection and Strong Fiscal Results, PGP Corporation Presents with Industry Experts and Hosts Product Demonstrations at Infosecurity Europe

"Pretty Good is Now Great"

London and Palo Alto, CA/ 22 April, 2008 - PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, arrived today at Infosecurity Europe 2008 in London on the heels of an outstanding fiscal 2007 and equally significant first quarter of 2008 in Europe and, specifically, the UK. In the fiscal year ending December 2007, PGP Corporation recorded its best year ever throughout Europe with most new bookings now coming from multinational companies moving beyond a single point product to the centrally managed solutions found with the PGP® Encryption Platform. The increase to the server managed business side of the PGP® product portfolio continued in the first quarter ending 31 March 2008 when bookings increased 103% (year over year) for all of Europe, representing the best quarter in company history.

"Western European organizations made significant investments in data protection over the last 12 months" commented Eric Domage, Manager, Western European Security Research and Consulting, of IDC. "Customers are looking to implement encryption across their organisation and beyond to provide proactive, strategic enterprise data protection. Regulations of all kind are pressuring companies to invest in advanced solutions where robust technology is as important as management capabilities."

"PGP Corporation's ongoing success is due in large part to our customer's adoption of a strategic approach to encryption across their enterprise, - from USB drives to laptops to file servers - which can materially reduce the risk of a breach," said Phillip Dunkelberger. "The PGP Encryption Platform is now the cornerstone of enterprise data protection planning with some of the most respected brands throughout Europe, including Software AG, DEIHL, BNP Paribas and Bertslemann."

Infosecurity Europe is a significant industry event for PGP Corporation and its ecosystem of technology partners throughout the UK and Europe; more than 15 PGP® partners are actively participating. PGP Corporation is participating in a series of events, activities and presentations for the anticipated 12,000 information security conference attendees. The company will be in Booth D130.

NEWS: Latest Ponemon Study
