DALLAS, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Securing information without hindering productivity has always been one of the major hurdles to enabling collaboration and protecting the assets and intellectual property of financial institutions, enterprises and government agencies. China-based PXInfosec recognized this opportunity and that they could solve this challenge for their customers with Entrust, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTU) and the Entrust Entelligence Group Share network folder encryption solution.

"The majority of our customers collaborate on sensitive files or folders on a daily basis. The operational challenge of securing this information, without negatively impacting efficiency, was of utmost concern," said PXInfosec General Manager Eric Ren. "With this innovative network folder encryption solution, we not only secure their key data and intellectual property, but we do so in a cost-efficient, non-invasive manner. It's an invaluable tool."

As part of the agreement, PXInfosec will purchase 20,000 licenses of Entrust Entelligence Group Share. The innovative network folder encryption solution, which was launched in 2007, offers organizations a seamless method of implementing easy-to-use encryption for group files or folders. As a transparent and persistent solution, the contents remain encrypted regardless if copied or moved to another drive, network or device.

"As information loss and data breach become an alarmingly frequent occurrence, it's reassuring to know that security-conscious organizations like PXInfosec are enabling customers to protect their sensitive assets or intellectual property," said Entrust Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Conner. "As a key component of a layered security approach, this network folder encryption solution provides organizations with one-of-a-kind capabilities that not only secure information, but increase productivity and efficiency in a cost-effective manner."
