ESET, a global industry leader in IT security software, is proud to announce that the company has been granted a landmark patent for DESlock’s innovative data encryption system by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

The patent –US 9,612,813– protects DESlock’s innovative and unique method of deploying and managing encryption policy, keys and endpoint software via cloud infrastructure for both IoT devices and corporations of any size. The technology allows IoT developers to adopt a ‘secure by design’ data transfer philosophy from the outset.

All encryption keys, recovery passwords and other security assets remain on premise, yet uniquely, no incoming connections are used at the client or server ends and no VPN connection is required. The technology remains true to it’s design goals of a sub 30-minute install and setup, no network changes or specialist knowledge requirement, and a fully-encrypted, ‘secure-if-hacked’ cloud component .

The DESlock technology platform benefits from quick setup and flexibility of Cloud management while simultaneously decreasing risks with security assets that are located directly on the customer’s premises. By securing this key patent, the USPTO has recognized the DESlock system as genuinely innovative and unique.

“This is a killer feature when transmitting encrypted data, and protecting its design in the biggest market is a real win for ESET, ESET’s partners and customers,” said David Tomlinson, the Manager of the Encryption Business Unit at ESET.

“This patent ensures our technology and corporate partners can utilize DESlock’s unique platform to secure existing infrastructure and IoT devices, providing their customers the satisfaction of knowing that communications and data are fully encrypted.”

Today, data protection and privacy is a top concern for consumers and business organizations of all sizes. ESET has set itself apart from competitors with DESlock’s cutting-edge encryption solutions, which no other product can match for flexibility and ease of use.

For ESET’s customers, the patent solidifies DESlock as a superior encryption system by ensuring control and monitoring of the encryption solutions installed on their remote or off-network endpoints, devices and sensors.

ESET’s success in securing a US patent for DESlock’s leading-edge encryption system supports the company’s goal to make sure consumers and businesses feel safe to make the most of the digital world.
