Ingrian Introduces New Solution for Securing Sensitive Data within PeopleSoft Applications

Appliance-Based Solution Addresses Privacy Legislation and Security Mandates

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—January 31, 2005— Ingrian™ Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced the release of software that securely and efficiently manages the encryption of sensitive information in Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications. This latest release enables PeopleSoft customers to integrate Ingrian DataSecure™ Platforms in their environments, and use the solution’s field-level encryption capabilities to secure the data that matters most to their business.

By offering granular encryption, seamless integration, and centralized security management, Ingrian products enable organizations to effectively address a range of critical security gaps and the most rigorous security mandates, with unprecedented ease and cost effectiveness. The new release enables DataSecure platforms to be integrated with several leading PeopleSoft enterprise applications:

• Human Capital Management applications—to secure such employee information as social security numbers, compensation figures, and email addresses.
• Customer Relationship Management applications—to manage encryption of customer credit card numbers, email addresses, and ID numbers.
• Financial applications—to protect credit card numbers and other critical transaction records.

“Protecting data privacy is a growing political and legal issue around the world and a leading concern for most consumers,” said Charlie Garry, senior program director, META Group. “Encrypting data only as it moves across the network is not sufficient to meet the newer, tougher standards for data privacy. IT groups should begin in earnest to develop a comprehensive database encryption strategy as part of their overall regulatory compliance initiatives.”

By offering a means for PeopleSoft customers to seamlessly introduce encryption, Ingrian enables organizations to encrypt data at the application layer, and to ensure that data is encrypted as it is saved to databases and storage systems—and as a result, organizations gain a significant advantage in terms of compliance and security. With its solutions, Ingrian supports:

• Organizations around the world seeking to comply with privacy legislation, such as California’s AB 1950, Europe’s Data Protection Directive, and many others.
• Retailers and payment processors in adhering to card issuer security policies like Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program and MasterCard’s Site Data Protection Program.
• Financial institutions seeking to comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
• Government agencies seeking to adhere to the Federal Information Security Management Act.

“We’re extremely pleased to deliver our enterprise-class privacy solutions to customers of PeopleSoft’s leading applications,” said Karim Toubba, Ingrian’s vice president of product management and marketing. “As organizations across regions and industries contend with increasingly costly breaches and rigorous privacy legislation, we’re seeing a corresponding rise in demand for our solutions. This release will provide the large base of PeopleSoft customers with a data privacy solution that offers unprecedented advantages in security, cost effectiveness, and manageability.”
