Acronis adds DeviceLock's leading device control and
endpoint data loss prevention solutions to its list of capabilities
in order to deliver an even higher level of cyber protection to
every business
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, 15 July 2020 - Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today announced the
acquisition of DeviceLock, Inc., a leading provider of endpoint
device/port control and data loss prevention (DLP) software for
enterprises and government institutions around the world. As part
of the agreement, DeviceLock will become a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Acronis.
A clear leader in endpoint DLP solutions protecting 4 million
computers in more than 5,000 organizations worldwide, DeviceLock
enjoys a global customer presence across a wide variety of business
types, including banking and finance, medical, pharmaceutical,
government and defense, manufacturing, and retail.
DeviceLock DLP is designed to stop data leaks at the source, as
nearly two thirds of serious data leakage incidents are caused by
employees, contractors or visitors - whether through unintentional
mistakes or malicious intent. DeviceLock solutions provide
top-class protection of valuable data from this serious insider
threat. The acquisition of these new capabilities will help advance
Acronis' mission to deliver world-class cyber protection to every
business.
Acronis will integrate DeviceLock's technology into the Acronis
Cyber Platform, making new services available through the Acronis
Cyber Cloud Solutions portal. At the same time, Acronis will
continue to work on new versions of DeviceLock DLP products while
maintaining full technical support.
Together with DeviceLock's full DLP suite, Acronis will offer
customers and partners a simple and affordable approach to
preventing data leaks from corporate Windows and Mac laptops,
desktop computers, and virtualized Windows sessions and
applications, covering the Five Vectors of Cyber Protection -
safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS)
of all data, applications, and systems.
"By adding DeviceLock's solutions to our portfolio of cyber
protection products and services, we're giving our partners and
customers an easy way to deliver an unprecedented level of
functionality among endpoint DLP solutions in an affordable price
range," said Serg Bell, Acronis' Founder and Executive Officer. "We
are looking at both developing new solutions internally, as well as
acquiring additional leading vendors to add even more capabilities
to our existing repertoire. The world of IT security is always
changing, and we are determined to continue evolving our solutions
to meet the ever-changing needs of the market."
Acronis sees the value in offering DeviceLock's services to its
community of 50,000 partners in the IT channel, enabling MSPs and
service providers to better manage the data protection needs of
their clients. Acronis' ability to meet infrastructure deployment
requirements by location, budget, and use case provides them with
the best in control and flexibility, to deliver cyber protection
with Acronis Cyber Protect. Acronis plans to continue enhancing its
cyber protection offerings, and adding capabilities requested by
partners and customers.
"By merging with Acronis, we can accelerate product innovation,
expand our distribution channel, and leverage our existing
technology to meet customer requirements," said Ashot Oganesyan,
DeviceLock CTO and Founder. "With the knowledge gained from nearly
a quarter century of experience providing device control and
endpoint DLP solutions, we are certain that this acquisition will
protect millions more users and ensure secure and reliable data
protection deployments worldwide."
