Enterprise data protection is a comprehensive strategy for defending data, wherever it goes. This strategy has four components:
- Protect data itself with standards-based encryption
- Detect and prevent data leakage
- Access controls permit or deny access to data
- Manage data throughout its lifecycle, from creation through archive
The PGP® Encryption Platform is the foundation of enterprise data protection, delivering these benefits:
- Powerful Protection—central policy and key management
- Simple to Deploy—install once, roll out as needed
- Easy to Use—automatic and transparent to users
- Cost Effective—reduces total cost of ownership

Jon Callas: Enterprise Data Protection
Jon Callas continues our discussion of Enterprise Data Protection and its implications in securing valuable data in corporate and government IT organizations.
Enterprise Data Protection is a term that's being used in the IT security community to describe a comprehensive approach to protecting corporate, customer, and personal data.
A few weeks ago, we talked with Jim Reavis of the Reavis Consulting Group about this idea of Enterprise Data Protection. We thought it would be interesting for you to hear a different perspective on this subject, so we've asked Jon Callas to join us. Jon is the Chief Technology Officer and Chief Security Officer for PGP Corporation. In this podcast, he is interviewed by Dave De Jear, director of public relations for PGP Corporation.
In addition to defining, describing, and clarifying this concept of EDP, they'll also discuss it in the context of some recent and noteworthy security news stories.
"The PGP Encryption Platform was the best fit for our distributed organization and one of the few solutions that supported end-to-end encryption on BlackBerry devices. PGP Corporation offers the only product line that covers all our current requirements for enterprise data protection."
