Ingrian Networks Delivers .NET Standard Support; New Release Broadens Deployment Options in Microsoft Environments.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Ingrian(TM) Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced the latest release of the Ingrian DataSecure(TM) Platform which features support for the .NET standard. With this new release, organizations gain more ease and flexibility when deploying DataSecure platforms in Microsoft environments.

Designed to complement Ingrian's existing support for Microsoft technologies, the new .NET Connector enables broader integration of DataSecure products in Microsoft environments. New capabilities feature a set of .NET security classes that interface with the DataSecure platform, enabling seamless integration of DataSecure into .NET applications, COM+ applications, and Web services security architectures.

"For some time now, Ingrian's development efforts have largely been focused on making it easier for our customers to integrate our leading data privacy solutions," said Karim Toubba, Ingrian's vice president of product management and marketing. "With our new .NET Connector, Ingrian provides enterprises with even more flexibility in terms of how our products get deployed and the critical data they can be used to secure."

The DataSecure platform is comprised of three components: The DataSecure appliance; the Network-Attached Encryption(TM) (NAE) Server, which operates on the appliance; and NAE Connectors, which are installed on the server or database interfacing with the appliance. In addition to the .NET Connector, Ingrian offers four additional NAE Connectors:

--the MS-CAPI Connector for Microsoft environments,

--the PKCS #11 Connector for Windows and Unix/Linux platforms,

--the JCE Connector for Java-based architectures, and

--the XML Connector for legacy and custom-developed environments.
