Once PGP Desktop Corporate is deployed, its operation is completely transparent-users simply continue to work as usual. The software automatically protects email and local and shared information according to policy, ensuring that users never forget to secure confidential data.
PGP Desktop Email
Delivers all the encryption functionality necessary for protecting an organization's email communications in a single, easyto-use and easy-to-manage solution. Secure instant messaging provides automatic secure sessions between AOL® Instant Messenger™ (AIM) users with PGP Desktop.
PGP Whole Disk Encryption
Locks down the entire contents of a laptop, desktop, external drive, or USB flash drive, including boot sectors, system, and swap files.
PGP NetShare
Extends file server access controls to include strong end-to-end encryption, allowing content owners or security.
Transparent to Users
Once PGP NetShare folders are created, users create, save, and share documents as before. No change in user behavior or training is needed. Users simply click on a .doc, .xls, or .ppt file.
Encryption that Follows the File
Ensures that files stay encrypted locally, over the network, on the server, and in backups.
Multiple Ways to Share Data
Users can create storage-independent encrypted containers for transport and sharing of specific files using PGP Self-Decrypting Archive, PGP Virtual Disk, and PGP Zip.
- PGP Self-Decrypting Archives (SDAs) - Puts files and folders into an encrypted, compressed package that can be opened on a Windows system that does not have PGP Messaging or PGP Desktop installed. SDAs are the perfect solution for securely exchanging files with someone who does not have PGP software installed.
- PGP Virtual Disk volumes - Uses part of the hard drive space as an encrypted virtual disk volume with its own drive letter. A PGP Virtual Disk is the perfect place for storing sensitive files; it is as if they are stored in a safe. When the door of the safe is open (when the volume is mounted), files can be changed, taken out or moved into it. Otherwise (when the volume is unmounted), all the data on the volume is protected. PGP Virtual Disks are also self-expanding: they automatically grow to accommodate increases in data size, eliminating initial space allocation constraints.
- PGP Zip - Adds any combination of files and folders to an encrypted, compressed, portable archive. PGP Desktop must be installed on a system to create or open a PGP Zip archive. PGP Zip is a tool for securely archiving sensitive data, whether to distribute it to others or to back it up.
Secure File Deletion
PGP Shredder completely destroys files and folders so that even file recovery software cannot recover them. Deleting a file using the Windows Recycle Bin does not actually delete it; it sits on the drive and eventually gets overwritten. Until then, it is trivial for an attacker to recover that file. PGP Shredder, in contrast, immediately overwrites files multiple times. This is so effective that even sophisticated disk recovery software cannot recover these files. This feature also completely wipes free space on drives so that deleted data is truly unrecoverable.
Single Sign-on to Windows
Provides simplified login experience using existing Windows' password.
Partition-based Encryption
Partition-based encryption enables PGP Whole Disk Encryption to encrypt only designated disk partitions, providing added compatibility for systems with multiple operating systems or existing recovery partitions.
For (optional use) in a Centrally Managed Environment with PGP Universal Server:
Centralized Management, Deployment, & Policy
Automate provisioning, user and key management, and policy enforcement across email, disk, and network file encryption using PGP Universal Server's management console.
Event Logging
Comprehensive logs record all administrative operations for auditing and security best practices.
Recovery Passphrase
Automatic generation and central storage of unique one-time-use recovery passphrase enables remote assistance. Automatically resets the recovery passphrase after each use, reducing administrative overhead.
Assured Data Access
Patented PGP Additional Decryption Key (ADK) technology ensures corporate access to encrypted data (according to policy) in the event a key is lost or when required by regulatory mandates.
Policy-Driven Encryption of Removable Media
PGP Whole Disk Encryption users managed by PGP Universal Server automatically apply encryption of removable media according to policy, ensuring consistent data protection for these easily lost devices.
Partition Encryption Deployment
Administrators in a PGP Universal-managed environment may now configure encryption of only the boot partition or only Windows partitions rather than always encrypting entire disks.
Domain Administrator Restart Bypass
Windows System and Administrator account(s) may now engage a mode to bypass WDE authentication on the next restart by utilizing the privileges of the administration account to act as the authenticated user. This feature enables administrators to perform remote software installations requiring a restart of the target computer. Use of this feature is logged to the PGP Universal Server.
