Media Release: New PGP-CipherTrust Compliance Solution

EMAIL SECURITY LEADERS PGP CORPORATION AND CIPHERTRUST TO DELIVER INTEGRATED APPLIANCE-BASED COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS

Partnership of Market-Leading Encryption and Gateway Products to Deliver Compelling Value for Joint Customers

Palo Alto, CA/20 July, 2005 PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption solutions, today announced it has formed a partnership with CipherTrust, Inc., a leader in messaging security, to create an integrated email security solution that changes the economics of regulatory compliance. Businesses of all sizes will be able to meet the stringent internal security and government regulation requirements with a combination of PGP® Universal"s automated encryption and key management architecture and CipherTrust"s hardened email security gateway. This integrated solution will ship in an appliance form factor for easy deployment and implementation.

The joint offering will allow the companies" combined enterprise customer base to quickly implement a compliance solution that meets internal audit and risk management requirements. Combining PGP Universal"s automatic email encryption, decryption, digital signatures, and key management with CipherTrust"s IronMail® Privacy Architecture (IPA) enables customers to benefit from proven integration and joint policy configuration as well as single point of purchase, deployment, and support.

“Customers across the world have asked us for an integrated CipherTrust and PGP solution,” said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. “Combining CipherTrust"s policy engine and our automated PGP Universal encryption architecture gives customers outstanding regulatory protection. This combined solution offers broad, standards-based functionality to the large enterprise installed base using both PGP and CipherTrust security solutions.”

Customers will deploy the joint CipherTrust and PGP Universal appliances in the gateway to screen email for content that violates internal security policies. Messages are identified as confidential by the CipherTrust policy engine, then automatically encrypted and securely delivered by PGP Universal. This joint solution provides customers the regulatory compliance they need without disrupting the routine delivery of email. The solution operates automatically and transparently both to the email system and email users.

“This alliance between technology leaders in the gateway and encryption markets is a big win for customers looking to meet compliance requirements with our world-class policy engine and PGP Universal"s industry-standard encryption capabilities,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, chairman, and founder of CipherTrust. “The combined CipherTrust-PGP offering will be perfect for businesses wanting a bundled appliance-based solution for both policy and remediation.”

Both private and public-sector organizations need a “last line of defense” to ensure sensitive and private information does not leak through the external boundary via email and create a regulatory violation. “As outbound filtering and encryption become increasingly important for compliance, an integrated, secure e-mail gateway eases customer deployments,” said Brian Burke, research manager, Security Products, for IDC. “Both CipherTrust and PGP Corporation share a strong market presence in their respective markets, so the bundled solution should be attractive to customers.” The combined offering will be available exclusively through the CipherTrust worldwide channel network.
