PGP Corporation Reaches 1 Million Seat Milestone, 400% Increase In PGP Universal Bookings; New PGP Security Architecture, Comprehensive Encryption Product Suite, and PGP Storage Solutions Drive Enterprise Adoption.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data security and encryption solutions, today announced cumulative user licenses exceeded 1.17 million seats since company inception in mid-2002. PGP Corporation's announcement reflects its worldwide leadership in encryption solutions, the growing need to comprehensively manage regulatory risk, and accelerating enterprise customer adoption. The company also announced a 400% increase in PGP(R) Universal bookings during the last 12 months, including purchases by Fortune(R) 100 and Fortune(R) Global 100 customers in Financial Services, Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, and Retail.

"In the last year, we responded to almost 60 enterprise-class RFIs, and in less than 7% was another vendor chosen," said Phillip Dunkelberger, CEO and president of PGP Corporation. "Why? Enterprises are not interested in gateway-only email security anymore. They now require a blended solution that protects all their data - gateway and desktop email, stored and laptop data, instant messaging sessions, FTP and batch file transfer. They want to avoid technology silos, so solutions must work together and share a common architecture. And they want to know they can extend their investments to new applications in the future."

"Enterprises are also requiring vendors to help lower their overall IT cost of ownership," continued Mr. Dunkelberger. "They are mandating simple integration into complex environments, ideally requiring no additional staff to operate or training for users. They are requiring products based on published standards that immediately interoperate with their business partners and customers. They also specify consolidated management and reporting to measure privacy, audit, and regulatory compliance. Enterprise customers choose PGP Corporation because we are the only vendor that meets their architecture, standards, and breadth of solution requirements all at once."

PGP Corporation also announced continued worldwide customer expansion, with PGP products now in use by 84% of the Fortune 100(1) and 66% of the Fortune Global 100(2). Industries with strong compliance requirements are leading adopters, including 6 of the top 8 Financial Services, 9 of the top 12 Pharmaceutical, 8 of the top 12 Health Care, and 11 of the top 14 Manufacturing companies. PGP products are now used in 174 countries, representing 77% of United Nations membership. PGP Support is available worldwide. PGP products are available from more than 160 partners in 37 countries, including German and Japanese localized versions. The company attracted almost 4 million visitors to its website in the last year.

PGP Universal Architecture. The company's rapid expansion is based on accelerating acceptance of PGP Universal's automated data security architecture and central policy management. PGP Universal, designed for cost-effectiveness, allows enterprise customers to manage all their encryption applications under a single key and policy infrastructure. Its unique proxy architecture serves as a foundation for multiple applications - supporting email, disk storage, file transfer, and IM solutions today - and is flexible enough to protect other data types such as network stored data, voice over IP (VoIP), video, or customer database information in the future.

PGP Product Suite. The addition of PGP Whole Disk Encryption to new PGP Desktop 9.0 makes the PGP product suite the most comprehensive in the industry. Featuring PGP Universal for centralized management and recovery, the suite includes gateway email, desktop email, digital signatures, full disk encryption, virtual disk and file encryption, shredder, Zip, instant messaging, FTP, and batch solutions that can be mixed and matched as needed. All are based on accepted industry standards and proven through long-term use in varied network environments.

PGP Technology Partnerships. PGP Universal is rapidly becoming the preferred encryption solution for enterprises needing both encryption and best-of-breed email management. PGP Corporation has partnerships with all major email gateway vendors, including BorderWare, CipherTrust, Clearswift, IronPort Systems, MailFrontier, Mirapoint, Proofpoint, Sendmail, and Vontu. In addition, the company has strategic partnerships with industry leaders, including Aladdin, Research in Motion (RIM), and Symantec.

PGP-Caliber Security. PGP Corporation sets the standard for verifying that no backdoors or secret access exists in its product software. The company proves this by being the only commercial security vendor to publish source code for peer review. In the last year, PGP source code has been downloaded more than 66,500 times.

PGP Technology Leadership. During the last year, PGP Universal was named Best Encryption Solution (SC Magazine Global Awards) and Best Security Solution for Healthcare (SC Magazine European Excellence Awards) and was a finalist for Product of the Year (Information Management Awards). PGP Corporation was one of six finalists in SC Magazine Global Award's Best Security Company category.
