Media Release: MIS CDS New U.K. CSP PGP CORPORATION ANNOUNCES MIS CORPORATE DEFENCE SOLUTIONS AS A U.K. CERTIFIED SOLUTIONS PARTNER MIS Corporate Defence Solutions gains competitive edge with award-winning PGP Universal for enterprise secure messaging Palo Alto, CA/19 October, 2004 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise encryption solutions, today announced its partnership with MIS Corporate Defence Solutions (MIS CDS) to resell PGP Universal in the U.K. As one of PGP Corporation's Certified Solution Partner (CSPs) announced in the U.K., MIS CDS believes PGP Universal will give it a significant competitive edge in providing a complete email security solution to enterprise customers. "MIS CDS is continuously looking to provide customers, with innovative solutions in the information security space. This area has undergone a silent revolution in the last year with company issues and concerns shifting," says Etienne Greeff, Technology Director at MIS CDS. "Companies have to comply with a number of acts, including the U.K. Companies Bill, European Union Data Privacy Directive, and European compliance deadline for Sarbanes-Oxley. Companies are also becoming more mobile, with data migrating to unmanaged and unsecured devices such as PDAs, smart phones, and laptops. The net result has been that encryption for data in transit and stored data has come to the forefront of agendas for CIOs and CSOs. MIS CDS believes that PGP Corporation is a very important player in this market, with a proven track record of providing dependable and manageable encryption solutions, and has consequently chosen PGP Corporation as our strategic encryption partner." PGP Corporation has chosen to work with MIS CDS because of its experience in delivering email and Internet security solutions to blue-chip customers and its reputation as one of the leading security VARs in the U.K. In addition, MIS CDS committed its consultants to undergo the extensive training and certification programme that PGP Corporation asks its resellers to complete in order to provide maximum value to the customer. "PGP Corporation is focusing on an exclusive set of channel partners to proactively market our enterprise solution. With PGP Universal, we prefer working with a few well-qualified, committed partners rather than a broad base of resellers," explains Steve Abbott, vice president, PGP worldwide sales. "As a channel partner, MIS CDS offers a staff of consultants who understand the intricacies of email security, mail flow, and network integration and have extensive experience in enterprise environments." MIS CDS is very optimistic about the U.K. prospects for PGP Universal and has already seen interest from a broad cross-section of customers. Initial interest has been driven by the need to adhere to various new regulations regarding confidentiality in the public sector and financial institutions as well as by the need to protect the confidentiality of information, particularly sensitive product information, such as in the pharmaceuticals sector.
