PGP Corp. has updated PGP Whole Disk Encryption for Mac OS X to version 9.9. It offers full support for pre-boot authentication for maximum security of your Mac OS X desktop or laptop.
It also supports external drives, including the sharing of Whole Disk Encrypted thumb drives between Mac and Windows clients. PGP Whole Disk Encryption 9.9 allows use of the FIPS 140-2 validated PGP SDK for cryptographic operations and offers complete enforcement of your encryption policies and visibility into your Whole Disk Encryption deployment by providing a single, centralized management console (PGP Universal Server) for both WDE for Mac OS X and WDE for Windows clients
This release contains support for English, German, and Japanese user interfaces. If you’re an existing PGP Desktop customer, you can launch PGP Desktop, navigate to the PGP menu, and select “Check For Updates” to determine if you’re eligible for a free upgrade to version 9.9. If you’re new to PGP, or not eligible for a free upgrade, it costs US$119.
