What DeviceLock does

DeviceLock is a San Ramon, California-based provider of endpoint data loss prevention (DLP) software, founded in 1996 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acronis since its September 30, 2025 acquisition. The company's core product, marketed as Acronis DeviceLock DLP, delivers comprehensive endpoint DLP capabilities including device and port control, content-aware and context-aware inspection, tamper protection, centralized management via Microsoft Active Directory/Group Policy, and DLP controls for virtualized sessions and BYOD environments across Citrix, VMware, Microsoft RDS, Oracle VM VirtualBox, and Windows Virtual PC platforms. Its installed base spans 5,000+ corporate customers protecting 4 million+ endpoints across finance, government, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail sectors, with named enterprise references including the City of London Police (customer since 2005).

The company generates revenue through subscription-based enterprise licensing, with quote-based annual pricing available via Acronis's direct sales team and a free trial pathway for evaluation. Following the Acronis acquisition, the product is distributed through the Acronis Cloud Solutions portal and exposed to Acronis's network of 50,000+ service provider partners globally, materially expanding its go-to-market reach. Key technical differentiators include offline policy support (two sets of DLP policies automatically toggled by network status), tamper protection that prevents even local sysadmins from modifying DLP policy settings, and granular allowlisting for USB devices and network communications.

DeviceLock's value proposition centers on preventing data leakage from insider threats (cited as the source of nearly two-thirds of serious data leaks) through enforced endpoint controls that users cannot bypass, combined with simplified deployment via native Active Directory integration. The company's leadership team includes Vitaly Shipitsin (CEO), Ashot Oganesyan (Founder & CTO), and Flavio Sangalli (Managing Director), and it operates with 101-250 employees. Post-acquisition, DeviceLock's strategic role within Acronis is to serve as the endpoint DLP engine for the broader Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform, targeting enterprise and mid-market customers via channel-led distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Forcepoint DLP: Forcepoint DLP is a broad-incumbent enterprise data protection platform covering endpoint, network, and cloud DLP with risk-adaptive analytics. It competes with DeviceLock in mid-to-large enterprise DLP procurements, particularly where buyers want a unified vendor across endpoint and network DLP.
• Proofpoint DLP: Proofpoint DLP (acquired via ObserveIT and others) provides people-centric DLP and insider threat management covering endpoint, email, and cloud. It competes with DeviceLock in enterprise insider-risk programs where behavioral analytics and content inspection are bundled.
• Symantec DLP (Broadcom): Broadcom's Symantec DLP suite covers endpoint, network, and cloud DLP and is a broad incumbent in enterprise data protection. It competes with DeviceLock in large enterprise DLP deals, particularly in regulated industries where Symantec has longstanding install bases.
• Microsoft Purview DLP: Microsoft Purview DLP is a broad incumbent offering that bundles endpoint, email, and cloud DLP into the Microsoft 365 / Defender for Endpoint ecosystem. It is the most disruptive competitive force against DeviceLock because it ships natively with the AD/Windows environment in which DeviceLock is already integrated.

Emerging players

• SentinelOne Singularity Data Lake: SentinelOne is extending its autonomous XDR platform with endpoint telemetry-driven data protection. As an emerging player in endpoint DLP, it competes for the same enterprises DeviceLock targets, particularly those standardizing on a single next-generation endpoint agent.
• CrowdStrike Falcon Data Protection: CrowdStrike Falcon Data Protection is an emerging DLP capability layered onto the Falcon EDR platform. While historically CrowdStrike was EDR-only, its endpoint DLP directly pressures DeviceLock in enterprises consolidating onto a single Falcon agent.

Direct peers

• GTB Technologies: GTB Technologies is a focused DLP specialist offering content-aware inspection for endpoints, network, and cloud. It directly competes with DeviceLock in enterprise DLP RFPs, particularly for buyers wanting fine-grained content and pattern detection at the endpoint.
• Digital Guardian: Digital Guardian is a direct endpoint DLP peer, offering agent-based data loss prevention with content inspection, device control, and behavioral monitoring at the endpoint — closely aligned with DeviceLock's core technology and target buyer (enterprise security teams in regulated verticals).
• Safend: Safend provides endpoint DLP with a strong focus on removable media encryption enforcement, port/device control, and content discovery — closely overlapping with DeviceLock's core device-control and removable media DLP feature set.
• CoSoSys (Endpoint Protector): CoSoSys's Endpoint Protector is a direct endpoint DLP competitor providing device control, content-aware protection, and removable media encryption enforcement for Windows, macOS, and Linux — overlapping with DeviceLock's endpoint control and USB/port DLP capabilities.
