PGP Universal™ Server manages security policy across multiple applications to defend sensitive data and avoid the financial loss, legal ramifications, and brand damage resulting from a data breach. As the foundation of the PGP® Encryption Platform architecture, PGP Universal Server manages PGP Encryption Platform–enabled applications that provide email, disk, and network file encryption.

Features

• Centrally manage and deploy multiple encryption applications to protect sensitive enterprise data

  Enterprises are increasingly deploying encryption to protect their most sensitive information. Unfortunately, deploying point solutions to protect email, disks, and files involves deploying and managing multiple management consoles. This piecemeal approach prevents organizations from addressing new requirements in a timely, cost–effective manner.

  PGP Universal Server manages security policy across multiple applications to defend sensitive data and avoid the financial loss, legal ramifications and brand damage resulting from a data breach. As the foundation of the PGP Encryption Platform architecture, PGP Universal Server manages PGP Encryption Platform–enabled applications that provide email, disk, and network file encryption. PGP Universal Server provides:

  • Key management

    Creates, distributes, and stores encryption keys while maintaining the organization’s ability to allow authorized personnel to access encrypted data.

  • Policy enforcement

    Delivers centralized policy configuration and removes the risk of inconsistently or incorrectly configured policy.

  • Reporting & loggingk

    Provides visibility into the current state of data protection to help satisfy management and auditor requirements.

  • Extensible framework

    Reduces the time and cost of deploying future encryption applications by eliminating redundant management infrastructures.

• Automate Deployment and Ongoing Management

  Based on policy, PGP Universal Server automates deployment, provisioning, key management, and policy enforcement for email, disk, and network file encryption. By allowing administrators to focus on familiar tasks, such as establishing groups and assigning policy and configuration, PGP Universal Server reduces administrator workloads and ensures consistent security policy.

• Build for Tomorrow’s Needs

  Using PGP Universal Server, an organization can deploy one encryption application to address an immediate tactical requirement and then deploy additional applications later, as required. This strategic approach to encryption allows the enterprise to quickly adapt to emerging requirements for encryption using a single encryption management console.

Benefits

• Easy, Automatic Operation

  Once PGP Universal Server is deployed, its operation is completely transparent— users simply continue to work as usual. Combined with PGP Encryption Platform–enabled applications, PGP Universal Server automatically protects data without changing users’ behavior or increasing help desk load.

  • Automated user enrollment

    Creates accounts, manages encryption keys, and assigns policy without requiring manual administrator configuration.

  • Dynamic policy

    Drives application of policies to groups of users using optional enterprise directory integration.

• Enforced Security Policies

  Security policy configured in PGP Universal Server ensures that email, local disks, and removable media are encrypted, defending data across the network and transported on easily lost devices.

  • Protect data by application policy

    Enforce encryption for desktop applications with PGP(R) NetShare, securing documents wherever stored or used.

  • Expanded device security policy

    Limit access to systems after failed pre-boot authentication login attempts.

  • Status logging & reportling

    Tracks and reports on the state of protection in the organization to satisfy regulatory requirements and help prevent a data breach.

  • Client controls

    Enable the organization to better meet security requirements by locking down which features are enabled, visible to the user, and enforced.

  • Secure delivery options

    Enable PGP Universal Gateway Email to deliver messages securely via encrypted PDF with an option for tracking message delivery.

  • Single Web-based security console

    Configures encryption policies for all encryption applications from one console, reducing the risk of inconsistent security policies.

  • Advanced policy engine

    Enables organizations to fine-tune encryption policies and drives automatic policy assignment using optional enterprise directory integration.

• Accelerated Deployment

  PGP Universal Server’s management console enables organizations to establish, enforce, and update security policy in real time, reducing the time and effort required deploy PGP Encryption Platform–enabled applications.

  • Rapid deployment process

    Speeds deployment by automating the installation and configuration process.

• Reduced Operation Costs

  PGP Universal Server allows administrators to manage encryption policies through a single interface so they can focus on other critical tasks, reducing operation costs.

  • Unified administration console

    Eliminates the cost of deploying and maintaining multiple consoles and client applications and minimizes the risk of inconsistent security policy.

  • Enterprise integration

    Leverages existing enterprise directories, PKIs, systems management tools, and email hygiene and outbound content compliance solutions.

  • Logging, monitoring, & reporting

    Reduces the time needed to audit activities for multiple encryption applications as part of a regulatory compliance program.

  • Extensible protection

    When licensed for multiple applications, allows management of any other PGP Encryption Platform–enabled application, including PGP® Whole Disk Encryption, PGP® Desktop Email, and PGP® NetShare.
