PGP Deskop Professional: Comprehensive encryption for desktops and laptops
PGP Desktop Professional provides a comprehensive set of encryption
applications to protect sensitive data in email, instant messages, and
on disk or removable media. This data is at risk of compromise: email
and instant messages can be intercepted or misdirected, laptops are
easily lost, and PCs are often targets for theft. PGP Desktop
Professional secures confidential information wherever it exists,
protecting the business and helping meet partner and regulatory
mandates for information security and privacy.
PGP Desktop Professional includes PGP Whole Disk Encryption to lock
down the entire contents of a laptop, desktop, external drive, or USB
flash drive, including boot sectors, system, and swap files. Pre-boot
authentication is enforced and the always-on encryption is transparent
to the user, automatically protecting data. Volume and file encryption
provides an added layer of security to protect sensitive data while the
system is powered on.
PGP Desktop Professional provides email and instant messaging (IM)
encryption between AOL Instant MessengEr (AIM) users with PGP Desktop
to enable confidential communications. Policy-based enforcement
simplifies security, providing transparent operation with no additional
user requirements.
