Networks Unlimited, value-added distributor for PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption solutions, today announced that PGP Whole Disk Encryption was named "Best Enterprise Solution" in a group test of seven products in the January 2007 issue of SC Magazine. The application was also named the "Best Buy".
SC Magazine's product review judges commented: "PGP Whole Disk Encryption provides the easiest to install hard drive encryption package we tested."
The review concludes: "PGP Whole Disk Encryption was the best product for an enterprise environment. We rate it our Best Buy for its strong enterprise capability, ease of use, value and superior performance."
"We appreciate SC Magazine's product review team taking a holistic approach in this full disk encryption review, recognising the tremendous savings of time and money that enterprises can reap when implementing PGP Whole Disk Encryption," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. "Our solution was architected for the enterprise and built on the PGP Encryption Platform architecture, which delivers key management, central policy enforcement, and recovery services. Recognition from a trusted industry leader like SC Magazine validates our design decision."
In use at 95 of the 2006 Fortune 100 companies and 87% of Germany's DAX index, the PGP Encryption Platform and set of integrated applications secures e-mail, laptops, desktops, instant messaging, PDAs, network storage, FTP and bulk data transfers, and backups, enabling organisations to reap best-in-class encryption in phases or as business requirements evolve. Increasing threats to confidential information, along with global regulations and security best practices, contribute to continued acceptance of PGP technology.
Rudolph Pretorius, the Product Manager for PGP in South Africa, had the following to say: "In winning SC Magazine's award for 'Best Enterprise Solution' as well as being named 'Best Buy' for the full disk encryption group test, PGP has once again illustrated they are the preferred encryption product in the industry today."
He continued by saying that PGP had stood the test of time and created a name for itself in the marketplace over the last 15 years, a claim that competitors cannot make.
"Once again congratulations to PGP with this award. Awards like these are definitely noticed by key players in the IT security industry."
