PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, has announced that the PGP UniversalTM Gateway Email with PGP PDF Messenger has won "Encryption Product of the Year" at the prestigious Techworld Awards 2008. PGP Universal Gateway Email, now featuring a range of secure delivery solutions, provides standards-based e-mail encryption for secure communication with customers and partners. Based on highly configurable encryption rules, e-mails and their attachments are secured as they enter and leave the enterprise network. The application is highly regarded for its unique ability to apply centrally defined email encryption policies, making it ideal for audit, regulatory, and compliance requirements.
For the past 13 years the Techworld Awards programme has acknowledged products and users from the European IT industry that have enabled IT professionals to execute their jobs more easily and effectively. Judging is conducted by an independent panel of industry experts and the editorial board of Techworld.com, and awards are announced in conjunction with the annual Techworld exhibition. PGP Corporation was selected as the overall winner from a selection of reputable industry stalwarts.
"The objective of the Techworld Awards is to recognise very highest standards of individual and collective technology achievements," said Maxwell Cooter, Techworld's editor. "The ongoing problem of securing confidential data both at rest and in transit is one faced by many IT managers across both the public and private sector, and PGP Corporation offered users an innovative and workable solution to the problem. The judges were impressed with the way that the PGP technology has tackled the issue and thought that its product stood out among the entrants."
"As data breaches continue to top the media agenda and penetrate public consciousness, it is great to be named the solution of choice for organisations looking to address this growing concern," said Phil Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. "Thank you to Techworld for recognising that with PGP Universal Gateway Email, global organisations can minimise the risk of a data breach while remaining compliant with regulatory mandates for security and privacy."
