"Lengthy processing times were putting us in jeopardy of missing our SLAs, which would result in financial penalties.
We were using a non-native encryption solution on the mainframe. PKWARE lowered my CPU processing load, giving me more time to meet my SLAs. The PKWARE Solution was less expensive too. With SecureZIP, I'm not only confident that I will meet my SLAs, I also know that I'm cutting costs.

"We exchange sensitive data with our extensive client and partner network on a daily basis.
Their diverse platform and security format requirements posed a challenge when it came to securely transferring data. With PKWARE I can guarantee endpoint security and protect all parties from a potential breach. That makes it easier to recruit partners and gives me a major competitive advantage. "

VP of Enterprise Architecture, Brokerage Firm

"I'm responsible for budgeting our data processing costs.
I'm constantly scrutinizing processing resources since I need to reduce capacity charge-backs. Our data center started using the PKWARE native encryption process. It uses less computing resources to do the same encryption work as IBM EF. My internal capacity charge-backs from the data center have been greatly reduced. "

Line of Business Manager, Healthcare Provider

"The thought of failing an audit used to keep me up at night.
I don't want to worry about noncompliance penalties and the direct and indirect costs of a data security breach. An exposure of customer data would significantly impact the valuation of our company. PKWARE allows us to be in compliance and gives us insurance in the event of a breach, as no one can open the encrypted data. "

Reduce Mainframe Encryption Costs

It goes without saying: sensitive data must be protected, but there are ways to reduce the cost of data security. For organizations that are faced with doing more with less, reducing data center costs is imperative. Many organizations use non-native encryption software to protect their mainframe data; however, even for large organizations, these solutions are costly to maintain in these economic times.

PKWARE helps companies lower mainframe encryption costs by using significantly less CPU than non-native, Java and USS-based encryption solutions.
