Overview

Increased data accountability and increasing IT complexity require a new approach to securing data. Customers, business partners, and regulatory bodies are requesting higher levels of security for sensitive information.

The PGP® Encryption Platform reduces the complexities of protecting business data by enabling organizations to deploy and manage multiple encryption applications cost effectively from a single management console. When the organization needs additional encryption applications, the PGP Encryption Platform makes installing another, separate infrastructure unnecessary because the infrastructure was deployed with the first PGP® encryption application.

The PGP Encryption Platform provides a strategic enterprise encryption framework for shared user and key management, policy, and provisioning that is automated across multiple, integrated encryption applications. Integrated PGP Corporation and third-party encryption applications enable organizations to deploy automated encryption as needed, with the data security functions required to solve the business requirement. This data-centric approach protects data in motion and in transit anywhere, anytime.

Enabling Proactive Encryption Strategies

Businesses worldwide are increasingly dependent on IT to accelerate growth and profitability. At the same time, enterprises must address evolving compliance requirements, secure intellectual property globally, and protect brand equity in an era of costly, embarrassing data security breaches. The PGP Encryption Platform enables organizations to address immediate needs and continue to proactively deploy encryption applications without burdening administrators with multiple interfaces or distracting end users with new training requirements. This approach enables IT to develop a proactive encryption strategy to mitigate risks before they affect operations or threaten the corporate brand and reputation.

First Application Delivers the Platform

The PGP Encryption Platform provides automated encryption services to a growing set of integrated applications. Deploying one enterprise encryption application delivers the PGP Encryption Platform, allowing organizations to quickly deploy new applications as needed. For example, an organization could first deploy email encryption with PGP Universal™ Gateway Email. Then it might deploy PGP® Whole Disk Encryption clients to all laptop users, and subsequently add PGP® NetShare end-to-end storage encryption for the engineering, HR, and sales teams. The entire deployment is managed from an administrative console using centralized policy and configuration.

Accelerating Deployment, Reducing Operational Costs

As organizations continue to deploy encryption applications, the PGP Encryption Platform removes the need for additional administration, deployment, policy, and provisioning systems. Instead of configuring and maintaining different systems, administrators can now focus on addressing important business needs. Unified user management and policy enforced consistently across applications allows organizations to address initial and subsequent threats, while reducing operational costs by removing the need for redundant resources.
