SC Magazine Selects PGP Corporation as an Innovator in Encryption in 2008

PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, today announced that SC Magazine, the oldest and most widely-read IT security publication in the United States, has named PGP Corporation as the 2008 Innovator in Encryption for the second consecutive year. PGP Corporation is recognized for being a provider of solutions that enable companies to counter the difficult challenges of protecting data in today’s digital enterprise. Today’s acknowledgement follows on the heels of two SC Magazine “Best Buy” Awards earned by PGP® technology earlier this year.

“Applying encryption to multiple platforms is another area that has become important over the past 12 months. PGP has addressed that with new products that focus on more platforms,” noted Peter Stephenson, Technology Editor in his SC Magazine Innovator feature. “The good news is that when you are the world’s largest purveyor of encryption software, you have a lot of customers all telling you what they want and what their needs are. All you have to do is listen and that – listening and responding – is one of the key strengths of this perennial innovator.”

SC Magazine’s SC Labs team singled out the industry’s most forward-thinking companies and products for 2008 in a special section of its December issue dedicated to innovators in the information security market. Selection was based on a product evaluation and analysis that focused on providers who deliver a strategic systems platform approach versus a point solution approach to their offerings. In 2008, PGP Corporation also received SC Magazine’s sought-after “Best Buy” award in group tests of its PGP Universal™ Gateway Email and PGP® Whole Disk Encryption solutions.

“It is our goal at PGP Corporation to provide a robust, forward-looking platform of encryption solutions to address the compliance and data protection needs of our enterprise customers,” said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. “We are pleased to receive, for the third time this year, recognition from SC Magazine for our innovation and excellence in this field.”
