Media Release: PGP Corporation Named Industry Leader with Best-in-Class Encryption Products by Info Security Products Guide

Encryption Leader Recognized with Two Global Excellence Awards in 2007

Palo Alto, CA/02 May, 2007 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection and encryption solutions, today announced it has won 2007 Global Excellence Awards for Enterprise Encryption Platforms and Full Disk Encryption from Info Security Products Guide, the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies. Following PGP Corporation’s recent “Hot Company” award by the same publication in March, the 2007 Global Excellence Awards confirm PGP Corporation’s position as the industry leader.

"Today's end users must deal with a host of unexpected and ever-changing threats to confidential data," said Rake Narang, managing editor of Info Security Products Guide, a publication of Silicon Valley Communications. "Products that foster a proactive approach to information security help build consumer trust. That’s why we invited more than 18,000 users worldwide to vote for the products they trust most for protecting their digital assets."

"It's very satisfying to be recognized again by the Info Security Products Guide, particularly for global excellence in encryption," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. "The PGP® Encryption Platform and PGP® Whole Disk Encryption continue to be in great demand because customers recognize the holistic approach to data defense that our technology delivers. This recognition, in turn, keeps us focused on meeting their security requirements as new needs emerge and evolve."

The PGP Encryption Platform provides a strategic enterprise encryption framework for shared user management, policy, and provisioning automated across multiple, integrated encryption applications. All PGP Encryption Platform–enabled applications—from PGP® NetShare for network file and folder encryption for collaborative teams, to PGP Whole Disk Encryption for encryption of all files on desktops, laptops, and removable media, to PGP® Desktop for automatic email and file encryption for desktops and laptops—leverage users, keys, and configurations to expedite deployment and policy enforcement and can be combined to provide multiple layers of security. The PGP Encryption Platform is deployed with the first PGP® application installed, enabling organizations to reap best-in-class encryption in phases or as business requirements emerge and evolve.

PGP Whole Disk Encryption protects intellectual property, customer data, and brand equity with transparent, full disk encryption that locks down a drive without changing user behavior or workflow. The application secures data from multiple threats with a single, centrally managed client, making theft or loss of a system or removable media far less damaging to a user or business. It also provides safe, single sign-on to Microsoft Windows through password synchronization, and is available for Mac OS X non-boot drives, enabling removable media to be encrypted and shared between users on different operating systems.
