All members of the ESET Technology Alliance are strategically selected security companies that specialize in a specific IT security area which complement the ESET product portfolio. The program’s partners are carefully vetted against a set of established criteria to extend “best-in-class“ business protection across IT environments. The first entrant into the ESET Technology Alliance is DESlock, an encryption software company.
“At ESET, protection of our customers, their data, and business infrastructure always comes first.We chose DESlock as the first strategic member of ESET Technology Alliance because of its strong encryption technology, and are excited to offer encryption solution through the Alliance with our selected products.“
said Ignacio Sbampato, ESET Chief Sales and Marketing Officer.

This solution protects against all types of data breaches while allowing fully secure collaboration across complex workgroups and teams. The product integration provides ESET customers with better protection of company infrastructure as well as effective encryption on employees’ mobile devices.
