Overview

Email is the most important business communications system in the world, enabling organizations to efficiently interact with customers, clients, and business partners. Yet unprotected email poses a critical risk to an enterprise’s most sensitive data: customer information, financial data, trade secrets, and other proprietary information. Exposure of this information to unauthorized parties can result in financial loss, legal ramifications, and brand damage.

PGP® Desktop Email provides enterprises with an automatic, transparent encryption solution for securing internal and external confidential email communications. With PGP Desktop Email, organizations can minimize the risk of a data breach and comply with partner and regulatory mandates for information security and privacy.

• Easy, automatic operation?Protects sensitive email without changing the user experience.
• Enforced security policies?Enforce data protection automatically with centrally managed policies.
• Accelerated deployment?Achieves end-to-end email encryption using the existing infrastructure.
• Reduced operation costs?Result from centralized automation of email encryption policies.

PGP Desktop Email also enables users to encrypt and compress files for sharing or backup using:

• PGP® Virtual Disk?For secure storage, PGP Virtual Disk enables storage of files and folders in a single encrypted file that is used like a removable disk drive.
• PGP® Zip?For storing backups or sharing files, PGP Zip stores files and folders in a single, encrypted and compressed file.
• PGP® Self-Decrypting Archive?For email recipients without encryption software, senders can create a Self-Decrypting Archive that automatically executes and decrypts files for recipients without encryption software after their successful authentication.

As a PGP® Encryption Platform?enabled application, PGP Desktop Email can be deployed with PGP Universal™ Server for central management of existing policies, users, keys, and configurations. This solution expedites deployment and enables consistent policy enforcement. In combination with other PGP® encryption applications, PGP Desktop Email provides multiple layers of security.
