ESET Offers iOS Data Encryption Tools to Security Channel Partners

Security and data privacy vendor ESET is bolstering its channel partner program with a new tool, DESlock+ for iOS, which provides business data encryption for iOS mobile devices.

ESET is pitching the offering as a valuable way to add another security layer to mobile devices in the current age of ever more distressing security breaches. By encrypting emails, email attachments and text on iOS devices, the product provides another line of defense against data attacks.

“In today’s cybercrime environment, encryption is an essential part of a layered cyber security approach and companies not utilizing this technology are leaving their customers at risk,” said Andrew Lee, CEO of ESET North America. “Encryption is no longer the IT headache it used to be thanks to products like DESlock+.”

To be sure, there are plenty of other encryption solutions out there, both those native to various operating system platforms and third-party add-ons such as ESET’s. But as a data privacy solution designed specifically for iOS devices, and which is part of a larger suite of ESET encryption tools that also support Windows platforms, the offering could prove attractive to ESET’s channel partners.

ESET is offering DESlock+ for iOS through its partner program, not direct to consumers. Partners can purchase it starting at $3.99 per year per device.
