Media Release: Paymentech Selects PGP Universal

PGP CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THAT PAYMENTECH HAS SELECTED PGP UNIVERSAL TO SECURE ELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS & COMMUNICATIONS

Award-winning product will ensure confidential payment and customer information is protected

Palo Alto, CA/Dallas, TX/17 March, 2004 – PGP Corporation, the global leader in digital information security, and Paymentech L.P., the premier payment solutions company in the United States, today announced that Paymentech will use PGP Corporation's PGP® Universal to secure reporting and loan application data sent via email from customers and third-party resellers as well as settlement information submitted by merchant partners and communications with the company's benefits provider.

"We deal with a large volume of messages on a daily basis, many of which contain confidential information such as credit card numbers," explained Chris Cross, Director of Security for Paymentech. He said the company chose PGP Universal because it offered two-way, policy-based enforcement and centralized management in addition to automatic encryption, decryption, and digital signatures. "A secure-messaging solution isn't just very important—it's required in an enterprise environment," Cross added. "We were looking for a true, enterprise-level solution that could provide the security we needed plus the transparency our users required. What we learned is there aren't a lot of products available that have the industry acceptance of PGP security solutions."

"Financial services companies have always been leaders in providing secure communications," said Phillip Dunkelberger, President and CEO for PGP Corporation. "We are pleased Paymentech chose PGP Universal to raise their level of email security with both customers and partners. We worked hand-in-hand with one of our nationwide Certified Solution Partners, ANI Direct LLC in Dallas, to demonstrate the benefits of PGP Universal, and ANI is well-positioned to assist Paymentech in all aspects of deployment."
