About PGP Universal
PGP Universal provides practical, wide-scale deployment of secure messaging. By moving email encryption responsibility away from users to the network, encryption, decryption, and digital signatures are automatic and user-transparent. Messages are encrypted to individual keypairs and secured even when recipients have no keys. PGP Universal can quickly and cost-effectively secure some, most, or all enterprise users--both inside and outside the organization. PGP Universal supports both OpenPGP and X.509 + S/MIME standards, securely sends to recipients without installed encryption solutions, provides two-way policy enforcement, and delivers low-cost deployment through its self-deploying, proxy-based architecture. PGP Universal can be integrated with an MTA server to provide a complete enterprise email security solution that includes encryption, digital signatures, anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering, and unified policy management. It is part of a suite of PGP encryption products that includes email, full and virtual disk, instant messaging (IM), and FTP/batch solutions.
