PGP updates encryption platform

Enhanced management, policy and reporting capabilities

Written by Robert Jaques

Security vendor PGP Corporation has unveiled six updated PGP Encryption Platform-enabled applications designed to enhance management, policy and reporting capabilities.

The latest release features a Secure Delivery function in PDF Messenger, which ensures secure email communication regardless of the recipient's infrastructure and without requiring additional software.

Recipients continue to use the software they already have installed, such as email client, web browser or standard PDF reader, to securely receive, read and reply to email messages.

Corporate policies are automatically and uniformly applied to outgoing messages to help ensure compliance.

The PGP Encryption Platform update also enables organisations to accelerate deployment of endpoint encryption with PGP Whole Disk Encryption, PGP NetShare and PGP Desktop Email.

It also increases the number of strong authentication options available for PGP customers from vendors such as Aladdin, Gemalto and RSA Security, and allows administrators to enforce location-based data protection via PGP NetShare.

The new offering adds support via PGP Command Line for encrypting and digitally signing OpenPGP and S/Mime-formatted email messages for additional flexibility in processing business transactions.
