Symantec Corp. today announced the company has expanded its encryption solution set with the introduction of Symantec PGP Viewer for iOS, which enables mobile workers to view encrypted email on an Apple iPad, iPhone, or iTouch, and a new version of Symantec Endpoint Encryption Full Disk Edition. This new version features management capabilities for Opal-compliant, self-encrypting hard drives, allowing organizations to oversee hybrid environments involving hardware and software-based encryption solutions deployed in tandem.
In addition, PGP Universal Server from Symantec, the company’s encryption and key management server, is scheduled to be integrated with Symantec Protection Center (SPC) 2.0. Symantec Protection Center integrates Symantec and third party products which enables an organization to improve visibility into their critical business assets. For example, from the same management console organizations can identify which endpoints are missing full disk encryption and additionally have anti-virus definitions that are out of date.
Symantec provides a variety of encryption solutions for organizations of all sizes seeking to protect their proprietary information against data breaches. Its integrated and comprehensive line of encryption product offerings include full disk encryption, device control, removable storage, email, network, and server solutions. They are available for a wide range of target platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and soon the Apple iOS.
