in Encryption Award

Ingrian i110 DataSecure Platform Receives Highest Number of Votes from Customers Worldwide Securing Recognition as the Best, Most Trusted New Encryption Solution

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – April 30, 2007 – Ingrian® Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and a leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named the Ingrian i110 DataSecure Platform a winner of the 2007 Global Excellence in Encryption Customer Trust Award. This customer trust honor endorses the i110 DataSecure Platform is ahead of the curve when it comes to the best-of-the-best products that can provide the highest security in encryption. More than 18,000 end-users and prospective customers from worldwide were invited to vote for the products that they trust the most when it comes to protecting their digital resources.

“We are pleased that Ingrian has been recognized by customers worldwide as a trusted encryption solution,” said Derek Tumulak, vice president of product management at Ingrian Networks. “As data threats continue to evolve, so has our product line, and we appreciate the validation of our efforts from the IT community.”

The Ingrian i110 DataSecure Platform enables users to automate the integration of encryption, securely store and manage keys, offload encryption, authenticate and authorize approved applications, and log and audit all access to sensitive data. Unlike software-based solutions, which store encryption keys on the servers where encrypted data resides, the Ingrian i110 DataSecure Platform stores encryption keys in a centralized fashion, all on a dedicated security appliance—virtually eliminating the possibility of the keys being compromised. Additionally, where software solutions can only be implemented in one location—the database layer—the i110 platform enables organizations to deploy encryption at the Web server, application server, and/or database layers, ensuring that encryption can be more effectively tailored to an organization’s infrastructure, compliance requirements, and security policies.

“Ensuring data privacy is of concern for almost all businesses, and encryption is a key part of safeguarding data and securing against data thefts,” said Rake Narang, managing editor of Info Security Products Guide. “Users of these award-winning products have to deal with real-life threats which may differ vastly from lab simulated environments.  By voting, these users have voiced their trust for the products that best meet their requirements, and voted hands-down for the Ingrian i110 DataSecure Platform as one of the must-have encryption products.”
