Ingrian DataSecure Release 4.0 Scales Encryption for Enterprise Deployments

New Software Offers Enhanced Scalability, Performance, LDAP Integration, and Replication

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—February 14, 2005— Ingrian™ Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced a major new product release that significantly boosts scalability and eases the process of encrypting critical data in larger enterprises. Ingrian DataSecure™ Platform, release 4.0, delivers a range of new features designed to improve performance, strengthen AAA support, and increase administrative controls.

The new capabilities and enhancements will enable organizations to implement encryption with more reliability and scalability, while lowering their total cost of ownership (TCO) with new integration features that require less time and training from IT. New features and enhancements include:

• Improved performance. A single appliance can now handle over 8,000 cryptographic operations per second, with latency of less than 0.3 ms for a single request.
• Strengthened AAA Support. This new release offers advanced authorization policies; enhanced logging and statistics; more granular access control lists (ACLs); and integration with an external LDAP server for user authentication, enabling customers to leverage existing directory servers and policies.
• New enterprise deployment features. New features include intuitive configuration of server clusters via the user interface to support scalability and failover, and more granular backup/restore options, including the ability to select which keys will be backed up.
• More robust administrative controls. New features enable administrators, via a graphical user interface and via an XML interface, to do secure replication of all configuration information, including keys, groups, and user profiles.

“Most of the enterprises we’ve worked with are being compelled, whether by privacy legislation or the prospects of data theft, to encrypt sensitive data,” explained Karim Toubba, Ingrian’s vice president of product management and marketing. “Traditionally, encrypting sensitive data at rest has posed significant challenges, such as complex application integration, time-consuming maintenance, and poor performance. These challenges are exacerbated within the complex environments of most large-scale enterprises. We’re pleased to provide a solution that enables organizations to deploy encryption in large-scale, complex environments while avoiding these traditional obstacles.”

The new software is available now.
