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.

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
Read MoreI'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
Read MoreI 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.
- Reduce data center costs: Free up valuable CPU resources and avoid/delay CPU processor upgrades by leveraging a native encryption process built on a perpetual license model
- Improve service delivery: Avoid the cost of missing SLAs while enabling additional business processing and minimizing the risk of a data breach
- Increase profit: Reduce the total cost of encryption software and data center infrastructure costs while avoiding governance, risk and compliance costs
- Improve business results: Reduce data center software and capacity charge-backs while alleviating costs associated with missing SLAs
- Gain competitive advantage: Stand out from your competition by supporting multiple encryption formats and computing platforms and showing readiness for securely using the cloud
Success Story: Payment Processing Provider
As part of a cohesive enterprise strategy centered on data reduction and security, the company consolidated three vendors to one. They calculated that the consolidation to the interoperable, multi-platform PKWARE solution will result in over $3 Million in savings compared to continuing to deploy point solutions.
