New Aladdin and PGP Partnership Strengthens Protection of Corporate Proprietary
Information on Lost or Stolen Laptops
Super-strength laptop and data security greatly enhanced with combination of PGP
Desktop Professional and Aladdin eToken authentication device
-
CHICAGO, August 16, 2005 -
Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq:ALDN) )), the worldwide leader in
Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) and a leading innovator
in enterprise content security and
strong authentication solutions, and PGP Corporation, a global leader in
enterprise data security and encryption solutions, today announced a partnership
that greatly minimizes the vulnerability of proprietary information for employees
relying heavily on laptops.
-
Organizations using PGP® Desktop Professional are now able to securely store
their PGP keys on an Aladdin eToken™, the
only authentication device of its type offered to PGP customers using PGP Whole
Disk Encryption. Users simply store their PGP keys on the Aladdin eToken and plug
in the token, requiring users to remember only one password - the eToken password.
This partnership between PGP Corporation and Aladdin allows customers from around
the world to purchase both their PGP Desktop Professional software and Aladdin eToken
devices directly from PGP authorized partners,providing powerful security, an unparalleled
level of convenience, flexibility, and productivity, as well as huge cost-savings.
-
"Just as executives carry the keys to their car, they are now able to gain peace
of mind by literally carrying the key to their laptop," said Leedor Agam, vice president
of the Aladdin eToken Business Unit. "Data and laptop theft remains a massive concern
for organizations. Aladdin's new partnership with PGP Corporation provides users
with the eToken key, adding the much-needed layer of additional physical security
- both generating and storing PGP encryption keys on the token itself."
-
Using the integrated PGP encryption suite, organizations can leverage a single,
automated information security management solution that offers a wide range of functionality
and deployment options, including disk security, email security, unified administration,
and IM security. The new Aladdin-PGP partnership allows users to easily and securely
carry numerous PGP credentials to multiple machines, also using Aladdin eToken for
any number of security applications, including network logon, VPN/Web access, password
management, PKI solutions, and more.
-
"Our strategic partnership with Aladdin allows enterprise customers to add another
layer to laptop security without sacrificing ease of use," said Steven Schoenfeld,
vice president of products and strategy for PGP Corporation. "With the Aladdin eToken,
access to laptops protected by PGP Desktop Professional with PGP Whole Disk Encryption
requires the user to both know the password and have possession of the Aladdin eToken.
Together, these ensure that laptops protected with proven, industry-standard PGP
technology can be accessed only by authorized individuals."
