Press Release: PGP Corporation Celebrates 7 Years as a Global Leader in Enterprise Data Protection

New Commendation from SC Magazine and TheInfoPro Support Company and Technology Strategy

Menlo Park, CA / 16 September 2009 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, recently celebrated the seventh anniversary of the company’s inception. Since 2002, the company has led the evolution and growth of the enterprise data protection market and its technology is recognized worldwide as the de facto standard for data encryption. The PGP® Encryption Platform has been widely acknowledged for providing an innovative approach to deploying encryption throughout the enterprise.

Supporting PGP Corporation’s achievement of this milestone, TheInfoPro (TIP), an independent research network and leading supplier of market intelligence for the information technology industry, announced the release of its “Information Security Wave 11 Report” (Q2 2009). The Report revealed that PGP Corporation continues to be cited as the number one “in use” provider of data encryption technology among Fortune® 1000 companies. Among respondents, the Report also found that implementation of “data encryption” increased from 71% to 88% between Q4 2008 and Q2 2009; and “encryption” was ranked third on the list of top security projects over the next 12 months.

“Our research indicates that enterprises are continuing to position data protection as a top priority year-after-year and are allocating the necessary resources to ensure they are implementing secure and effective technologies from vendors such as PGP Corporation across the board,” said Bill Trussell, managing director of security for TheInfoPro.

PGP Corporation’s PGP® Whole Disk Encryption 9.10 was also recently awarded a 5-Star Review by SC Magazine’s SC Labs team in an encryption tools group test. PGP® Whole Disk Encryption 9.10 was recognized as a straight-forward, easy-to-install product that is cost effective for the enterprise. The review highlighted PGP Corporation as the industry leader in encryption and called attention to the product’s value for the cost and support for Mac users. The full review can be found at http://www.scmagazineus.com/PGP-Whole-Disk-Encryption-910/Review/2892/.

“In just 7 years, PGP Corporation has fundamentally transformed the perception of encryption as a niche technology to the data protection cornerstone for forward-thinking enterprises and governments worldwide,” said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. “PGP Corporation was the first vendor to offer military-grade encryption to the private sector and we look forward to many more years of providing our customers with the best data protection solutions through our comprehensive PGP® Encryption Platform. This recent validation from TheInfoPro and SC Magazine further cements our stature as the leader of the enterprise data protection market.”
