New PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control Blocks Malware and Unauthorized Software

Ensures Business Continuity with Zero-Day Automatic Threat Protection

MENLO PARK, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- To help organizations combat the
rising threats of malware and unauthorized software entering corporate
networks, PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection,
today announced PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control, the latest addition to
the PGP(R) Endpoint family of solutions. PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control
blocks malicious and unauthorized software, including applications, scripts
and macros, from executing on a user's system by automatically enforcing
policies using whitelisting technology that explicitly allows only trusted and
authorized software applications. PGP(R) customers can now have zero-day,
automatic threat protection against known and unknown application and software
threats.

New malware threats are emerging daily, compromising user privacy, causing
business disruption and affecting the ability to demonstrate compliance. While
some organizations may think they are protected against malware intrusions
with anti-virus solutions, anti-virus solutions do not necessarily provide a
sufficient layer of protection. In fact, according to AV Comparatives, most
anti-virus solutions missed over 50 new application threats introduced in
2008. Take the example of the massive data breach attack on Heartland Payment
Systems announced earlier this year, where over 100 million credit card
numbers were compromised for fraudulent transactions. The source of the
attack was malicious software that was planted on the company's payment
processing network that sniffed payment card data as it was being sent for
processing to Heartland by thousands of the company's retail clients.

PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control builds on PGP Corporation's reputation for
delivering award-winning products that provide a proactive approach to data
protection with multiple layers of security to safeguard organizations against
the risk and ramifications of compromised data and intellectual property.
Additionally, as business application requirements change and new threats are
introduced, IT administrators can easily update existing whitelisting policies
that are transparent to the end-user.

"Today's business environment is wireless and borderless between customers,
partners, consultants, mobile employees and shared computers, making
confidential information at risk everywhere," said Philip Dunkelberger,
president and CEO of PGP Corporation. "PGP Corporation has always advocated
to customers that they build an enterprise-wide data protection strategy from
the endpoint all the way to the mainframe. With PGP(R) Endpoint Application
Control, we are continuing to strengthen our data protection solutions with
another layer of control to help ensure business continuity for our
customers."

By leveraging PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control as another layer of data
defense, customers can ensure business continuity with always-on protection
and not have to worry about malicious software entering their networks.
Furthermore, the ability to demonstrate compliance is easily achieved with
PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control's capability to audit all application
execution attempts and policy changes.

Together, PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control and PGP(R) Endpoint Device
Control (see related news release, "PGP Corporation Announces General
Availability of PGP Endpoint",
http://www.pgp.com/insight/newsroom/press_releases/pgp_endpoint.html) provides
comprehensive, granular, and policy-based enforcement of unauthorized
software, malware, devices and removable media - delivering complete
protection against data leakage, loss or theft.

Pricing and Availability
PGP(R) Endpoint Application Control is generally available today starting at
$48.00 USD per seat through PGP(R) channel partners.
