Industrial-Strength
Security for Digital Assets

PGP for Business Security is a scalable, cross-platform solution that enables users to protect electronic correspondence, online transactions, and data files by encrypting them so that only the intended recipients can decipher the contents. Because PGP products contain only strong cryptographic algorithms and key lengths, PGP for Business Security provides the ultimate protection by securing data stored on computers and in transit over intranets and the Internet. For added security, PGP incorporates powerful digital signature capabilities that verify authorship as well as the integrity of documents.

Flexible, Simple Security Administration

PGP for Business Security includes a full suite of key generation and management tools that gives security administrators flexible control over corporate security policies. Using PGP's Administrative Wizard, for example, administrators can set key generation configurations; require encryption for all email messages sent by a set of users; enable corporate message recovery; and limit the ability of users to perform certain actions, such as key generation. To assure the validity of keys, administrators also can create a hierarchical and/or Web-of-Trust framework of individuals trusted to sign keys.

Easy to Administer, Easy to Use

PGP for Business Security is so easy to use that even novices can learn to encrypt, decrypt, digitally sign, and verify messages and files in a matter of minutes. And because it works seamlessly with popular productivity tools, email applications, operating systems, and the PGP Certificate Server, PGP for Business Security can be easily deployed throughout an organization.
