PGP Corporation and immixGroup Join Forces

Menlo Park, CA, 8 July 2009 — PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, today announced a strategic distribution agreement and marketing relationship with immixGroup, Inc., a leader in technology sales, government channel programs, and contract management services, to channel PGP Corporation’s data protection solutions into the public sector.
