CommentsSAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, today announced its participation in the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2009 which runs from September 22-24, 2009 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. PGP Corporation and Intel Corporation, have developed a strategic partnership over the past two years focused on creating a fast, transparent, high performance Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) solution to enable large enterprise and SMB customers to protect their sensitive data from theft or accidental loss. This cooperation is showcased through PGP Corporation's involvement at IDF this week:
- During this morning's keynote by David Perlmutter, Executive Vice President for Intel Architecture Group at Intel Corporation, entitled, "Mobile Computing: The Definition of Cool," PGP Corporation was showcased as a primary solution provider for Intel's Intel(R) Anti-Theft Technology (Intel(R) AT).
- In the Intel(R) vPro(TM) Technology Community at the Forum, PGP Corporation will be demonstrating its support of Intel(R) AT. PGP Corporation announced an agreement with Intel in April 2009 to support Intel(R) AT. PGP has integrated Intel AT into the award-winning PGP(R) Whole Disk Encryption solutions for combined data and asset protection as well as help with notebook theft deterrence for organizations worldwide. According to the recently released 2008 Ponemon Cost of a Data Breach Report, compromised customer records in the U.S. costs a company $202 per record. Without proper asset and data protection practices, these breaches can cause significant damage to a company's brand and bottom line.
- In the Intel(R) Mobility Pavilion, PGP Corporation will be demonstrating its support for Intel AES-NI in Westmere processors. Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of the Intel processor. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). According to Intel, "Westmere is Intel's first 32nm processor, and historic in that it is the first-ever Intel processor to integrate graphics right into the processor's package."
- PGP Corporation will be participating in today's IDF Panel: "Benefits of Intel(R) Anti-theft Technology (Intel(R) AT)" in Room 2009 at 1:05pm PT. Among other topics, the panel will focus on end-user deployment experiences of Intel AT, benefits of the technology and product/service roadmaps from supporting vendors.
- PGP Corporation will also be participating in a second panel session today: "Building Real Life Clouds: Best Practices and Enabling Technologies" in Room 2008 at 4:15pm PT. In this technical session, the panel will focus on security technologies for multitenant hosting, resource isolation techniques for secure clients, optimizations to achieve higher performance and other topics related to security and cloud computing.
"PGP Corporation's strategic partnership with Intel on asset and data protection solutions helps organizations of all sizes deter the theft of costly hardware and then the loss of sensitive, valuable data," said Jim Adkins, vice president Technology and Products, PGP Corporation. "The Intel Developer Forum is a tremendous opportunity to bring together various technology solution providers who are integrating Intel technology, and PGP Corporation is honored to be a part of this distinguished group. We also look forward to continuing to expand our relationship with Intel to deliver the best data protection solutions on the market."
Intel's partnership with PGP Corporation addresses three growing trends that cost businesses and consumers billions of dollars every year - identity theft, data breaches and computer theft. Approximately 10% of all notebooks annually are lost or stolen so it is imperative that notebooks today incorporate two critical technology components to address these issues proactively and reactively - data protection and hardware-based anti-theft capabilities. Additionally, PGP Corporation's support of Intel AES-NI enables enterprise and SMB customers to have a transparent, fast, high-performance, secure whole disk encryption solution that is centrally managed and demonstrates compliance to meet the complex web of industry regulations.
