Ingrian Networks Adds to its Suite of Enterprise Encryption Solutions

New EdgeSecure Platform brings cost-effective encryption to bank and retail branches, while Teradata Connector allows cryptographic offload onto Ingrian DataSecure Platforms

London, UK — November 7, 2006 – Ingrian® Networks Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced the releases of its EdgeSecure™ Platform and Ingrian Teradata Connector to further strengthen its encryption solutions portfolio.

Revolutionary Store-Level Encryption Technology

The Ingrian i10 EdgeSecure appliance offers the industry’s most cost effective and secure hardware-based encryption solution for retailers and banks that will need to achieve Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, due to be enforced in the UK by June 2007. Delivering encryption capabilities beyond the data centre, EdgeSecure is ideal for retail and branch office environments as it can be extended to thousands of locations while being centrally managed by the DataSecure appliance - offering simplified management and robust security features.

“As retailers and banks look for ways to combat the threat of devastating data thefts and address increasingly stringent compliance mandates like the PCI standard, many are looking into ways to leverage data encryption,” said Jon Shaw, EMEA Sales Manager for Ingrian Networks.  “Ingrian’s EdgeSecure appliance offers a simplified model for information protection across thousands of distributed locations and has capabilities for granular encryption of sensitive data for retailers and banks - whether it is credit cards, social security numbers, or other sensitive data.”

By combining granular encryption capabilities at the branch location with a centralised management model, Ingrian EdgeSecure enables retailers and banks to effectively address a range of critical security gaps, with unparalleled ease and cost effectiveness. With this solution administrators can monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain individual EdgeSecure appliances from the data centre. Key management, policy management, logging, reporting, and software upgrades can be handled from a central location via the Ingrian Enterprise Manager.

“Ingrian is pleased to be aligned with a company with the caliber of nuBridges that understands connectivity, security, and collaboration throughout the supply-chain,” said Karim Toubba, Vice President of Product Management and Corporate Strategy for Ingrian Networks. “As more businesses look for complete solutions to secure data and to meet government mandates, we’re confident our partnership with nuBridges will enable us to offer superior value to customers of all sizes and technical levels.”

The Ingrian EdgeSecure appliance offers several advantages including:

• Centralised Management - the Ingrian DataSecure provides an Enterprise Manager that is designed to manage thousands of EdgeSecure appliances across a wide range of geographically distributed environments.
• Robust security - addresses a broad range of threats with robust field- or column-level encryption, secure policy and key management, sophisticated administration, segregation of duties, strong AAA support, and more.
• Scalability and reliability - offloads processing-intensive cryptographic functions from retail and bank branch applications and delivers high reliability, featuring capabilities for failover and disaster recovery.
• Flexible integration - can be integrated into existing distributed and PoS solutions; a single platform can support multi-vendor environments.

“We’re seeing more and more organisations looking to do database-level encryption to meet compliance mandates such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard,” said Jon Shaw, EMEA Sales Manager for Ingrian Networks. “Ingrian is delighted to be able to provide world class encryption to Teradata that addresses critical needs such as security threats, while delivering a range of features designed to offer more granular control of security and to provide even more flexibility in implementation.”
