NASHUA, NH AND MUNICH, GERMANY— November 30, 2006 – NTP Software®, the worldwide leader in the management and control of unstructured data, today announces the release of a new product, NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™.

It seems that there is a news story a month about the loss of sensitive data because an employee with appropriate access copied the data to their laptop and the laptop was lost or stolen. NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™ protects an organization’s sensitive data by ensuring it cannot be accessed by an unencrypted client system.

NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™ allows an organization to designate sensitive data on their storage hosts and it then ensures that this data, after the existing network security rules have been applied, can only be copied to or read by an encrypted client, regardless of whether the data is encrypted on its storage host.

Unbreakable client-side encryption is supplied by Microsoft as part of Windows® and by others at little or no charge. By requiring client-side encryption, NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™ ensures that the loss or compromise of a machine will never result in the loss of a company’s sensitive information.

“NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™ ensures that your organization won’t follow the VA, Fidelity, and others in the headlines for having lost profoundly sensitive data,” stated Bruce Backa, CEO of NTP Software, “More and more, employees need to work from laptop computers that they take with them when they leave the office. Today, your risk of catastrophic loss is not while the data is in the office; it is after it walks out the door each night. Encryption Sentinel™ completely eliminates this risk.”

NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™ will be available for NetApp® Filers in Q1 2007, with other storage platforms to follow.

NTP Software Encryption Sentinel™ is priced per storage host and per user, with quantity pricing as low as $10 per user.
