Despite the evident advantages of USB drives, the absence of a permission system to secure sensitive information makes them extremely vulnerable to data theft. GiliSoft USB Stick Encryption can help you protect your data by encrypting the whole drive or part of it. Should you decide to protect only an area of the drive, you will be able to store sensitive data on that space while the rest of it can be used normally.
The program can detect the USB devices connected to your computer. This way, by selecting one of those devices, you can create an encrypted area and protect it with a password. An advantage of this program is that it is capable of on-the-fly encryption, which means that no data will be temporarily stored on any other media. Luckily, the encryption is easily reversible.
If you are wondering what may happen when you need to de-encrypt data on another machine, you should not worry. The program copies a small file on the secured drive to help you access your files on any other computer.
In general, GiliSoft USB Stick Encryption is a useful application. Encrypting your data with this application will not only keep them away from prying eyes but also protect them from different types of malware. Unfortunately, there is a risk of forgetting the password. Although recovering a lost password is possible, the process is somewhat complicated.
