PGP Corporation Named a CRN 2009 Emerging Technology Vendor

Leading Channel Publication Recognizes the PGP(R) Encryption Platform for its Holistic Approach to Data Protection

MENLO PARK, Calif., June 22 /PRNewswire/ — PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Technology Vendor. PGP Corporation was selected for its innovative and award-winning PGP(R) Encryption Platform, which provides a holistic approach to protecting business data by enabling organizations to deploy and manage multiple encryption applications cost effectively from a single management console. CRN‘s Emerging Technology Vendor list identifies and awards companies that are delivering high-margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.

The PGP(R) 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. PGP Corporation and integrated third-party encryption applications enable organizations to deploy automated encryption as needed, with the data security functions required to solve the necessary business requirements. This data-centric approach protects data in motion and in transit anywhere, anytime. Unlike point solutions that address a single threat or cobbled-together product suites that lack integration, the PGP Encryption Platform delivers an integrated framework across the broadest range of encryption applications.

Earlier this year, PGP Corporation announced an expanded global channel strategy and initiatives to increase partner revenue and opportunities in vertical and adjacent markets. With 400 partners in the U.S. and 700 partners worldwide, this award-winning program recognizes three partner levels of participation designed to provide the best resources with turn-key solutions that enable partners to best meet the wide range of customers’ data security requirements.

Our world-class partner and distributor network is integral to expanding PGP Corporation’s market footprint around the world.”

“Solution Providers seek out innovative vendors that create new and innovative ideas to help them build revenue and customer loyalty. Our Emerging Tech list is where Solution Providers go to find these vendors. We congratulate all of the vendors for their innovation and creativity and their commitment to the technology sales channel,” said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel.

The vendors who make the CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list were founded in 2001 or later, have revenue under $1 billion and have an active U.S. channel strategy. Final selection to the Emerging Technology Vendor list was made by the CRN editorial team after a review of submitted information.
