Press Release: PGP Corporation Wins SC Magazine Group Encryption Competitive Review

PGP® Whole Disk Encryption Snags Consecutive “Best Buy” Rating and 5-Star Ranking in All Categories

Menlo Park, CA/20 October 2008 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, today announced that PGP® Whole Disk Encryption has once again been declared the “Best Buy” winner of this year’s SC Magazine Encryption Group Review. The group test, a competitive, hands-on product review of encryption solutions by SC Magazine, gave PGP Whole Disk Encryption top honors above such competitors as Ceelox, GuardianEdge, SafeNet and Utimaco, among others. Awarded "Best Buy" in the October 2008 issue of SC Magazine, PGP Whole Disk Encryption received five stars in all categories — features, performance, ease-of-use, documentation, support and value for the money.

PGP Whole Disk Encryption provides comprehensive, automatic full disk encryption, enabling quick, cost-effective protection for data on PCs, laptops, and removable media. Data is transparently protected against unauthorized access, eliminating the risks and consequences enterprises typically face in the event of lost or stolen data from mobile devices, such as financial loss, legal ramifications and damage to corporate and brand image. As a PGP® Encryption Platform-enabled application, PGP Whole Disk Encryption can be integrated with other PGP® applications to provide multiple layers of security that can all be managed through a single administration console with centrally-defined security keys, policies and configurations.

According to the review by Nathan Oullette, “Installation of the product is one of the easiest around. Configuration of pass phrases, key management and setup of other features is easily accomplished through the interface…. From a performance perspective, it performs very well.” Additionally Oullette reported, “We feel that PGP's pricing comes in around the average tier of pricing for the functionality. Coupled with feature sets and support, Whole Disk Encryption is our Best Buy.”

“Year after year SC Magazine Group Tests provide a valuable, real-world assessment of the solutions available to information security professionals,” said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. “We are pleased to receive such favorable recognition once again for PGP Whole Disk Encryption. The ‘Best Buy’ award underscores our commitment to developing and providing the most comprehensive and leading edge encryption solutions to address our customers’ enterprise data protection needs.”

SC Magazine awarded PGP Universal™ Gateway Email a 5-Star Rating and Best Buy ranking in the June 2008 issue. PGP Corporation was also awarded the Most Innovative Encryption Product in 2007, as well as overall test winner and Best Buy in the September 2007 SC Magazine Email Encryption Group Test for PGP® Desktop Email, and January 2007 Whole Disk Encryption Group for PGP® Whole Disk Encryption.
