Advanced encryption solution from ESET sets the industry standard while offering simple setup and superior encryption solutions for SMEs<\/p>\n

In the first business encryption test<\/a> by AV-Comparatives<\/a>, ESET\u2019s encryption solution DESlock+ Pro<\/a> was declared the leading encryption solution on the market for small and medium businesses looking to protect and safeguard their data. According to the results, DESlock+ Pro outperformed four other mainstream enterprise encryption products. The report confirms<\/a> that ESET\u2019s solution enables SMBs and SMEs to have access to a full range of encryption options that set the standard for the industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heralded for its ease of installation, simple management server set up, clean design, and full range of functionality, DESlock+ Pro covers full disk, file\/folder and removable media encryptions, with management from a console.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe need for better encryption services has never been more important for SMEs and we\u2019re proud to offer a leading solution that is used by innovative SMEs, and is now recognized by AV-Comparatives,\u201d said David Tomlinson, Manager of ESET\u2019s DESlock business unit. \u201cAt ESET, we\u2019ve developed effective and accessible encryption solutions tailored specifically to SMEs, not only to ensure they comply with data security regulations around the world, but to protect businesses and their most sensitive data.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Encryption of system drives and removable media has become an increasingly important security consideration for all businesses, regardless of size. In fact, the European Union recently introduced major regulatory changes to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/a> valid from May 2018, identifying encryption as part of the regulation itself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, according to a report by IDC<\/a>, which surveyed small and medium-sized businesses, 20% of organizations are not prepared at all for the new EU regulations, while 59% are not fully GDRP-compliant.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the growing importance of IT and data security, this is the first time AV-Comparatives has conducted a test on business encryption,\u201d said Andreas Clementi, CEO at AV-Comparatives. \u201c\u201cWe were impressed with the capabilities of ESET\u2019s DESlock Encryption and suggest it is an ideal solution for SMBs and SMEs looking for an effective, user-friendly encryption solution.<\/em>\u201d\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
