Media Release: eWEEK Top 25 Products of the Personal Computing Era

eWEEK Selects PGP Encryption as One of the Top 25 Most Influential Products of the Personal Computing Era

PGP Encryption Recognized for Empowering PC Users to Protect Vital Information

Palo Alto, CA/15 August, 2006 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption solutions, today announced that leading weekly IT trade publication eWEEK has selected PGP encryption as one of the top 25 most influential products of the first 25 years of enterprise personal computing. In recognizing the creation of the original PGP desktop encryption product, eWEEK noted, “Putting strong encryption in the hands of everyman, PGP served notice to sovereign spooks that citizen crypto would forever after be an inconvenient truth.”

Originally developed by Phil Zimmermann in 1991, PGP encryption was conceived to allow all PC users to secure their email communications. The current version of PGP® Desktop 9.0 allows individuals and organizations to also secure data at rest on laptops and thumb drives and secures IM communications. Product line extensions including PGP Universal™, PGP® Command Line, and PGP® NetShare are used globally by large enterprises and small companies to provide comprehensive information security.

“We are honored that eWEEK has recognized Phil Zimmermann’s vision and legacy as a pioneer in the development of encryption solutions,” said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. “This award is a tribute to the accomplishments of all PGP employees past and present as well as to the customers that have guided us as we’ve developed the PGP technology portfolio.”

Added Dunkelberger, “The PGP product line has evolved from that first DOS-based product to the PGP® Encryption Platform now used by thousands of corporations worldwide to centrally manage multiple encryption applications. Since it was introduced, the PGP product line has evolved in terms of its design, usability, and its ability to integrate with an organization’s existing enterprise infrastructure. Throughout, we have consistently maintained our focus on developing innovative approaches to securing our customer’s critical information assets. In an era of increasing regulatory requirements and global threats to data security and individual privacy, we are pleased that eWEEK has chosen to acknowledge the value of the PGP vision."
