Lock sensitive data in the notebook with encryption software

If you save valuable files on your laptop, you certainly know the importance of protecting the data. However, knowing that something should be done does not necessarily mean that it is being done, because a large number of reports every day indicate that sensitive data of many companies is lost or stolen from their laptops. However, protecting data security is not very difficult or expensive. Here I will talk about a few good encryption software.

Installing and running encryption software is not always very simple. Encryption is much simpler than in the past. encryption tools such as Steganos Safe Professional 2007 and Bullguard Backup make encryption part of a simple PC security center.

You can use the Active Directory to centrally install and configure Steganos Safe Professional Edition. You can also use group policies to determine who can use Steganos Safe and how to use it. For example, you can specify the shortest password length. You can also use a feature called "Emergency Decryption Key", which is actually a backdoor, this allows administrators to access data without displaying passwords. In addition, data can be moved to a safe deposit box, and daily operations for secure deletion can be completed by Shredder.

　　

Safe data can be encrypted up to 256 GB, and can be easily created using a wizard, and then encrypted and protected with a password. You can also assign a drive letter to it, which looks like a virtual hard disk available to all applications, but it can only be seen after you log on to the system.

In addition, I have also tried PGP Whole Disk Encryption 9.6 and SecurStar DriveCrypt Plus Pack. Both applications can encrypt a single file, the entire batch of documents, the entire disk and all files on it. The last feature is especially important: in each window session, you only need to enter your password once. In future work, all files and data will be automatically encrypted.

Files can be encrypted only on disks. If you send an email attachment to someone from an encrypted hard disk, the software will automatically decrypt the attachment before the file leaves your computer, the recipient will receive a normal unencrypted message.

When surfing the Internet, checking and sending emails on encrypted laptops, and even playing graphics-like games, it does not feel that the performance has been reduced due to the installation of encryption software. It seems that these software work very efficiently.

Therefore, as long as we deploy some efficient encryption tools, when the beloved laptop is lost, we do not have to worry about the data being exploited by thieves. Because we have prepared in advance.
