PGP Encryption Smackdown – Supports Mac Snow Leopard, Linux, Boot Camp, SSD drive support

PGP Corporation announced an update to its products line. PGP now supports Red Hat & Ubuntu Linux, Mac OSX Snow Leopard, and Boot Camp on Mac OSX computers. In addition, PGP has updated its whole disk encryption technology to include a Hybrid Cryptographic Optimizer (HCO) technology to deliver faster run times for PGP Whole Disk Encryption.


Customers can now use PGP Universal Server to centrally manage encryption for their multi-platform environment. A single web-based user interface can be used to manage encryption end points using Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac, Red Hat Linux, and Ubuntu Linux. PGP is the only encryption vendor that delivers encryption solutions across multiple platforms. Multi-platform support is especially important with the popularity of netbooks, and the forthcoming Apple tablet device, which is reported to be using the Mac OSX operating system.


PGP also added functionality for e-mail encryption in Microsoft Outlook. Using Microsoft Outlook users can now click “sign and encrypt” buttons to automatically encrypt emails.


Experior Data is a PGP SILVER Partner and helps organizations implement data encryption solutions.
