Media Release: Leading Email & Data Encryption Vendor New Information Security Study Rates PGP Corporation the Lead Vendor in Email and Data Encryption Software Results from TheInfoPro's Study of more than 250 Enterprise Security Managers Confirm PGP Corporation's Reputation as One of the Most Trusted Brands Among Security Industry Giants Palo Alto, CA/21 November, 2005 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption solutions, today announced that the latest Information Security Study conducted by TheInfoPro (TIP), an independent research network and leading supplier of market intelligence for the information technology industry, rated PGP Corporation as the lead vendor in use for both email and data encryption software. PGP Corporation was ranked second, behind only Cisco Systems, as the vendor security managers cited they are either currently using or considering for new security infrastructure implementations. The study of information security professionals from North American Fortune® 1000 and mid-sized enterprises, major government agencies, and leading academic institutions includes implementation planning, spending plans, vendor ratings, and commentary on products in 40 information security technology categories, including use of email and data encryption software to provide infrastructure security. End users cited in the study represented some of the world's most popular brands, including Advanced Micro Devices, AOL Time Warner, The Bank of New York, Citigroup, Dow Corning, Eastman Kodak, FedEx, Honeywell, JPMorgan Chase, Kimberly Clark, McKesson, PepsiCo, and Toyota. Vendors rated in the study included Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Symantec, and other leading information security vendors. "This third-party study confirms the marketplace sees PGP Corporation as a well-established company that provides special value to security managers," said Andrew Krcik, vice president of marketing for PGP Corporation. "Being recognized as one of the most widely used vendors of choice in today's security infrastructure market will serve us well as we continue to expand our encryption portfolio." Key findings of the TIP study also showed that PGP Corporation is the leading vendor in use in the data encryption software business, ahead of much larger companies such as Microsoft. Both data and email encryption were priorities for security managers, according to the study. Ranked as the leader in serving both these markets, PGP Corporation far outpaced all other competitors. "PGP Corporation receives recognition and high marks for its leadership in the encryption software business," said Henry D. Nisenbaum, managing director for information security research at TheInfoPro. "Security managers across a number of vertical industries—consumer goods/retail, education, energy and utilities, financial services, health care, manufacturing, telecommunications, and technology—told us that PGP Corporation provides industrial-strength encryption that is easy to use."
