Windows Vista Support
PGP NetShare now supports all 32-bit editions of Microsoft’s new Windows Vista operating system
Transparent to Users
Once PGP NetShare folders are created, users create, save, and share documents as before. No change in user behavior or training is needed. Users simply click on a .doc, .xls, or .ppt file.
Encryption that Follows the File
Files remain encrypted from the desktop, across the network, and when stored on the server. Encryption and access rights remain with files on the server, when downloaded or copied to local desktops, and when backed up or archived.
Directory Access Control Rights
PGP NetShare files and folders have associated access controls. Files are automatically encrypted according to policy, so only authorised users can open files. Unauthorised users who access these files see only ciphertext.
Role Separation
IT administrators can access PGP NetShare–protected files and folders for management and backup processes without requiring content viewing privileges. With PGP NetShare, personnel who are not explicitly given access rights cannot view documents, including offline copies.
Support for All Common Document Formats
PGP NetShare supports all common digital formats—document, spreadsheet, presentation, Web, video, and audio—without modification.
Assured Data Access
Patented PGP Additional Decryption Key (ADK) technology ensures corporate access to encrypted data (according to policy) in the event a key is lost or when required by regulatory mandates.
Multiple Ways to Share Data
Users can create storage-independent encrypted containers for transport and sharing of specific files using PGP Virtual Disk, PGP Zip, and PGP Self-Decrypting Archive.
PGP Virtual Disk – Create personal volumes whose contents are encrypted, providing a secured storage space.
PGP Zip – Single-step creation of secure, encrypted, compressed archives.
PGP Self-Decrypting Archive – Executable archives that can be decrypted without PGP Desktop, making them it ideal for securing files intended for non-PGP users. (Windows only)
Secure File Deletion
PGP Shredder & PGP Wipe – Allow users to securely and permanently eliminate all traces of files from a disk.
Centrally Managed Features

Centrally Enforced Security Policy

- Enables creation and modification of PGP NetShare–protected resources.
