Commenting on the win, David Tomlinson, Managing Director, DES said: “We are extremely proud that our encryption product has been recognised at the Computing Security Awards. Our strong ability to innovate, even in today’s tough climate has enabled us to stand head and shoulders above the competition and winning ‘Encryption Solution of the Year’ is a fantastic accolade that verifies our market-leading position in the data encryption market.
DESlock+ helps organisations to protect against all types of data breach by offering simple, yet extremely powerful, encryption of documents, folders, disks and removable storage media, and computer systems. The solution is both Windows 7 compatible and FIPS 140-2 approved. The United States Federal Government is required to only purchase cryptographic products which are validated to the FIPS 140-2 standard therefore this is a highly sought after accreditation.
David Bonner, Event Manager for the Computing Security Awards 2010 said: “I am delighted to see a British company coming out on top against some pretty heavyweight US software vendors. Britain has talent and DES demonstrates the power of innovation through DESlock+.”
