PGP Corporation Celebrates 7 Years as a Global Leader in Enterprise Data
Protection
New Commendation from SC Magazine and TheInfoPro Support Company and
Technology Strategy






MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- PGP Corporation, a global leader
in enterprise data protection, recently celebrated the seventh anniversary of
the company's inception. Since 2002, the company has led the evolution and
growth of the enterprise data protection market and its technology is
recognized worldwide as the de facto standard for data encryption. The PGP(R)
Encryption Platform has been widely acknowledged for providing an innovative
approach to deploying encryption throughout the enterprise.

Supporting PGP Corporation's achievement of this milestone, TheInfoPro (TIP),
an independent research network and leading supplier of market intelligence
for the information technology industry, announced the release of its
"Information Security Wave 11 Report" (Q2 2009). The Report revealed that PGP
Corporation continues to be cited as the number one "in use" provider of data
encryption technology among Fortune(R) 1000 companies. Among respondents, the
Report also found that implementation of "data encryption" increased from 71%
to 88% between Q4 2008 and Q2 2009; and "encryption" was ranked third on the
list of top security projects over the next 12 months.

"Our research indicates that enterprises are continuing to position data
protection as a top priority year-after-year and are allocating the necessary
resources to ensure they are implementing secure and effective technologies
from vendors such as PGP Corporation across the board," said Bill Trussell,
managing director of security for TheInfoPro.

PGP Corporation's PGP(R) Whole Disk Encryption 9.10 was also recently awarded
a 5-Star Review by SC Magazine's SC Labs team in an encryption tools group
test. PGP(R) Whole Disk Encryption 9.10 was recognized as a straight-forward,
easy-to-install product that is cost effective for the enterprise. The review
highlighted PGP Corporation as the industry leader in encryption and called
attention to the product's value for the cost and support for Mac users. The
full review can be found at

"In just 7 years, PGP Corporation has fundamentally transformed the perception
of encryption as a niche technology to the data protection cornerstone for
forward-thinking enterprises and governments worldwide," said Phillip
Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. "PGP Corporation was the
first vendor to offer military-grade encryption to the private sector and we
look forward to many more years of providing our customers with the best data
protection solutions through our comprehensive PGP(R) Encryption Platform.
This recent validation from TheInfoPro and SC Magazine further cements our
stature as the leader of the enterprise data protection market."

TheInfoPro Information Security Wave 11 Report included over 240 one hour
interviews with Fortune 1000 and mid-market security professionals. The
report provides an in-depth look into the key trends occurring across all
areas of the information security landscape, within disciplines such as
network security, security management and infrastructure security, providing
continuous business intelligence within key areas such as technology roadmaps,
spending plans and vendor performance ratings.

PGP(R) Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) provides comprehensive, automatic full disk
encryption, enabling quick, cost-effective protection for data on PCs,
laptops, and removable media. The encrypted data is transparently safeguarded
from unauthorized access, providing strong security for intellectual property,
