So you will be happy to hear DESlock+ does encrypt and it works in a no nonsense way so with that in mind we are off to an excellent start. Lets face it the most important thing an encryption product can do is encrypt, if it doesn’t do that then we are in a pretty bad situation. When reviewing encryption products its can often be a difficult task. With an estimated 500,000 units in use throughout the world to date, sales of the DESkey continue to grow. Over the past twelve years DES has also marketed the DESkey and DESlock range of software protection products. The original users of DES products were government based, but over time have spread into other sectors. DES were founded in 1985, and the companies systems and methods originated within the British Government Communications Headquarters. As encryption is an import consideration for users at home and within an organisation, and I had been looking at a few vendors for my day job I thought it would be some time well spent, and may be of use to some of you guys.ĭESlock+ Enterprise is the product I am going to be look at, and its made by a company called DES.
I had not heard of the product, so a quick search later and more information was revealed. Last year (2009) I got a call about reviewing a Full Disk Encryption product called DESlock+.
