PGP CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NEW DATA SECURITY PRODUCTS TO MEET
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE & INFORMATION PRIVACY NEEDS
Global customer standard for encryption offers the most
significant
product upgrade ever of its broad, integrated suite of desktop
& gateway security products
Palo Alto, CA/09 May, 2005 – PGP Corporation,
a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption
solutions, today announced a major expansion of its next-generation
PGP security suite. For the thousands of global companies using PGP
Desktop products, PGP® Universal 2.0 now offers automatic,
central policy management of all-new PGP® Desktop 9.0 plus
expanded enterprise management features. Corporations can simplify
business-to-business security with automatic key and policy
synchronization - both among PGP Universal 2.0 gateway servers and
to the worldwide PGP Desktop and S/MIME community. New PGP Desktop
9.0 features automatic operation so email, instant messaging (IM),
whole disk, and file encryption are secure without user interaction
or training.
Companies and individuals can mix-and-match PGP
solutions to achieve regulatory risk remediation and privacy
protection - all using a single, centralized, and automatic key
management and recovery infrastructure - including laptop
protection, gateway email security, end-to-end email privacy,
removable media security, IM encryption, FTP/batch transfer
protection, and digital signatures.
“Our mission is solving customer information privacy
issues and helping companies comply with a myriad of global
regulatory requirements,” said Phillip Dunkelberger,
president and CEO of PGP Corporation. “The challenge is
to also lower customer total cost of ownership, ensure standards
compliance, and minimize the impact on users, support, and
infrastructure. To accomplish this, we spoke to hundreds of major
customers to understand their complex corporate, regulatory, and
partner mandates for information security. PGP engineers have
translated this feedback into a comprehensive security solution:
the new PGP Universal 2.0 and PGP Desktop 9.0
products.”
New PGP Product Features & Benefits
-
New PGP Whole Disk encryption - protects the increasingly
vulnerable confidential information stored on corporate and
personal laptops and makes data unusable except by authorized
individuals. Secures entire laptop, desktop, and removable media,
including USB drives and backups, with centralized recovery using
PGP Universal 2.0.
-
PGP Desktop 9.0: six solutions in one - eliminates the
costly management of point solutions and training costs of
multiple applications while preserving best-of-breed data
security from a trusted vendor. This new six-in-one security
solution includes PGP Whole Disk encryption (laptops, desktops,
removable media), PGP Virtual Disk encryption (files, folders),
PGP Mail (automatic and transparent using PGP Universal
technology), PGP Instant Messenger (securing AOL®
Instant Messenger™ traffic), PGP Zip (file
compression), and PGP Shred (permanent file deletion).
-
PGP Universal 2.0 policy management for PGP Desktop 9.0 -

enterprises, lowering costs while increasing security. PGP
Universal 2.0 now manages central security policies, key
management, and keyserver functions for all PGP Desktop 9.0
clients.
-
Automatic, granular, security policy-
based enforcement - lets administrators set policy based
on recipients once, and then automatically encrypt and decrypt

encryption technology.

and integrates with installed security solutions. PGP Universal
2.0 and PGP Desktop 9.0 support all major certificate and message

solution that gives PGP users a trusted, validated, and automatic
way to share and retrieve public keys.
