Department of Defense Adds GuardianEdge Solutions to List of Approved Products
GuardianEdge Encryption Anywhere Platform selected for United States Army's Information Assurance Approved Product List
SAN FRANCISCO -- January 23, 2007 -- GuardianEdge Technologies, a leading provider of data protection software for government and enterprise organizations, today announced the company’s Encryption Anywhere™ Platform has been selected for the U.S. Army Information Assurance Approved Product List (AIAAPL). Selection of GuardianEdge encryption for the protection of Data at Rest (DAR) on laptop computers, desktop computers and removable storage devices such as USB thumb drives, CD-ROMS and DVDs was based upon completion of in-depth evaluations by the U.S. Army Technical Integration Center for the U.S. Army Information Assurance Office.
“The selection of Encryption Anywhere for inclusion on the AIAAPL demonstrates a growing awareness within government agencies on the need to secure sensitive information at the endpoint,” said Robert McLernon, Vice President of Federal Sales for GuardianEdge Technologies. “Electronic data is the indelible ink of our time. Once sensitive data is stored electronically, it continues to live on in a wide range of endpoint devices, such as laptop computers and removable media. GuardianEdge is committed to developing scalable, standards-based encryption software solutions that protect the mission-critical data of government agencies and large commercial organizations.”
Purchase of the GuardianEdge Encryption Anywhere Platform, approved for AIAAPL, can be made through authorized GuardianEdge reseller Merlin International on GS 35F 0783M. GuardianEdge and Merlin have a successful track record of meeting the endpoint data protection needs of large government agencies, partnering in 2006 for the largest single government deployment of full disk encryption solutions for the protection of data at rest on personal computers at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
