Ingrian Selected by Europe’s Leading PCI Compliance Auditor

One-SEC Chooses Ingrian Networks’ DataSecure Platforms for Outstanding Encryption Strength and Performance

London, UK — October 23, 2006 – Ingrian® Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced an exclusive partnership agreement with leading PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance auditor One-SEC www.one-sec.com. The partnership will see the award-winning range of DataSecure Platforms™ deployed on behalf of One-SEC clients with demanding data encryption requirements.

Tim Holman, PCI Solutions Consultant & Security MVP at One-SEC, explains the rationale for selecting Ingrian, “I think the DataSecure Platforms are a breath of fresh air.  They represent a unique, integrated approach to intelligent (or granular) data encryption that combines high performance cryptographic services and hardware-based encryption offload with the outstanding security attributes enabled by centralised key management – all onboard a single, easy-to-use appliance.  The i110 DataSecure in particular is a very attractive proposition for many of our clients, and can be offered at a highly competitive price point.”

The i110 DataSecure Platform is Ingrian’s entry-level solution, yet is still capable of processing a huge 11,000 cryptographic operations per second.  Like other products in the DataSecure family, the i110 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, Ingrian DataSecure platforms store encryption keys in a centralized fashion, all on a dedicated security appliance – virtually eliminating the possibility of the keys being compromised.

Additionally, where most software solutions can only be implemented in one location – the database layer – Ingrian’s i110 DataSecure 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.

“One-SEC is recognised across Europe for its unparalleled track-record of helping enterprises meet and exceed compliance standards such as PCI DSS, so it makes its technology judgements very carefully and with great scrutiny,” said Jon Shaw, European Sales Manager at Ingrian Networks.  “This is another ringing endorsement of the DataSecure family of encryption platforms – and the i110 in particular.”
