Issue #6; September 2005

Dear Colleague,

Businesses around the globe are increasingly going to be judged by how effective they are in protecting their sensitive data. Consumers, concerned over the litany of security breaches and data thefts, are increasingly making decisions about how and where to purchase based on their level of comfort in an organization's security measures. In this environment, data encryption is emerging as a top priority.

One of the latest testaments to this trend is a recent Forrester report, titled “The Forrester Wave™: Database Encryption Solutions, Q3 2005, Forrester Research, Inc., August 2005”. This is the first report of its kind focusing on the database encryption market, and a clear indication that the analyst community, and their enterprise clients, are looking to encryption as a key security initiative.

In this issue of Talking Ingrian, our quarterly email newsletter for customers and colleagues of Ingrian, we'll highlight some of the latest news from the company—including information about how we fared in the Forrester report, as well as customer wins with CardSystems and TNS, new product releases, events we'll be participating in, and more.

I hope you find this useful reading, and encourage you to let me know what you think. Please email me, and give me your thoughts, as well as any input on topics you’d like to see addressed in future issues.

Sincerely,

Robert Steinkrauss
Chairman, President, and CEO

Ingrian Unveils Next-Generation DataSecure Platforms for Guarding Against Data Theft

New Hardware Platforms Make Encryption Processing More Reliable and Faster—with Throughput Boosted by 50%

Ingrian announced the availability of the next generation of their flagship Ingrian DataSecure Platforms. DataSecure is the only appliance-based encryption solution available today that features granular, field-level encryption capabilities and that can be integrated at the Web server, application server, or database layer. In addition, DataSecure centralizes cryptographic processing, key and policy management, and security administration, which yields tremendous advantages in terms of security, scalability, and manageability.

This new release marks the latest in a series of recent enhancements to Ingrian DataSecure Platforms. In the past several months, Ingrian has delivered software enhancements that significantly streamline the database integration process, boost manageability and administrative control, and increase server performance. The latest enhancements to the platform enable faster processing and response times as well as more continuous uptime, making the DataSecure Platform an even more attractive and cost-effective solution for encrypting and fully protecting data. This new hardware release features:

• Enhanced performance, through optimized software and hardware—including EM64T support, DDR-2 Memory, and PCI Express—with one appliance now able to process over 12,000 cryptographic operations per second, representing a 50% increase over previous hardware platforms.
• Reliability, including redundant processor and RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) support, which ensures optimal availability, even in the event of hardware faults.
• Rack-mounted, 1u or 2u appliance form factor that enables convenient, cost-effective integration in enterprise data centers.
