Symantec Encryption PGP Command Line
Protect Confidential Data in Automated Business Processes

Overview:

Encryption for file transfers and data-processing applications

Data transfer and processing systems are at the heart every organization, exchanging large volumes of information between internal systems, suppliers, and customers. Legacy data transfer systems are especially prone to security breaches; however, because traditional file transfer and email protocols have no built-in security.

For organizations that need to securely exchange large volumes of information, PGP Command Line from Symantec can protect business-critical data easily and with little impact on existing systems. Command Line can also be used to protect large volumes of information stored on servers from unauthorized access.

Industry-leading data encryption

Command Line secures data in automated processes, helping organizations comply with regulations and protect privacy and confidentiality. Available on many platforms, Command Line secures mission critical data across the enterprise. Unlike alternative solutions, Command Line helps protect data at rest, in motion, and in use with support for digital signatures to generate audit trails.

Flexible integration in new and legacy processes

Command Line can be integrated in virtually any automated process. The life cycle of existing business applications can be extended by adding security with little impact on the application itself. New applications benefit from leveraging an established, proven cryptographic standard using a straightforward interface.

Benefits

• Trusted data transactions – secures data in back-end systems to ensure confidentiality and authenticity in transactions.
• Fast and flexible deployment – integrates easily into new and legacy business processes.
• Comprehensive protection – secures data at rest, data in motion, and data in use.
• Enterprise standard – leverages a common encryption application across enterprise systems.

Usage scenarios

Command Line is easily integrated into script-driven business processes. Once deployed, Command Line automatically encrypts and decrypts data on-the-fly.

• File transfer security – Provides encryption for file transfer between internal systems, suppliers, and customers.
• Email encryption – Encrypts emails in automated processes using the OpenPGP or S/MIME standard.
• Faster transmissions – Compresses data to save transfer time and bandwidth.
• Secure file deletion – Securely and permanently eliminates all traces of sensitive files from a disk.

Fast and flexible deployment

Command Line is a flexible security application that easily integrates with most commercial and home-grown data transfer and processing systems.

• Secure data exchange with any recipient – Provides multiple options for protecting data to ensure secure transmissions regardless of the technical capabilities of the recipient.
• Easy alternative to network-layer encryption – Encrypts the data itself, eliminating the need for hard-to-manage virtual private networks (VPNs).

Comprehensive protection

Command Line protects corporate data end-to-end, at every point during transmission, and while stored on disk.

• Protection throughout the data lifecycle – Keeps data confidential while in transit and at rest, even if the server is breached.
• Authenticity and audit trails – Digitally signs data to provide long-term audit trails and to enable the recipient to verify the authenticity of the sender and content.

Enterprise standard

Command Line is a versatile, multipurpose encryption application that integrates with a wide range of automated processes such as file transfers, bulk emails, or backups. It is supported on the most widely used enterprise operating systems.

• Long-term corporate data access – Helps ensure corporations have long-term access to encrypted data.
• Secure data flow across platforms – Establishes a common denominator that securely connects mixed systems.
