GiliSoft USB Encryption

USB drives have been around for over 20 years now as one of the quickest and simplest means of transferring and sharing files across devices.

While their portability is still one of their advantages, the varying lifespan and, most importantly, the cybersecurity risks they pose are the two major cons of still using USB drives. In a world where more than 60% of all the corporate data is shared via the cloud, USB drives are slowly losing relevance when it comes to file sharing.

Even so, if you are still choosing to transfer files using portable flash drives, paying extra attention to data security is recommended. Aiming to add extra security to any USB flash drive, GiliSoft USB Encryption helps you create a secure, password-protected area on your flash drive.

Working with GiliSoft USB Encryption is intuitive and easy, since the user-friendly interface features a minimum number of configuration options to deal with.   The application automatically detects all the connected USB devices and lets you choose the one you want to secure. Once you select the target flash drive from the drop-down list, you can start customizing the size of the secure area to create. The slider makes this task much easier, although it is also possible to fill in the desired size manually.

Please keep in mind that GiliSoft USB Encryption automatically converts FAT drives to NTFS to be able to install the secure area. It takes time to have this conversion completed, depending on the drive size. While this operation should succeed without any data loss, creating a data backup beforehand is still recommended.

In just a while, your USB drive will have a secure area created, one that is password protected to provide extra security for your sensitive files.   Changing the password is possible in the USB Toolbox area, which also features options to delete the secure area or recover the agent.exe file. There is also an option to backup data on your USB drive with GiliSoft USB Encryption.

GiliSoft USB Encryption helps you share files via a USB flash drive more securely. By creatng a password-protected, AES encrypted area on the drive, it allows you to keep sensitive content secure and rest assured that it will not end up in the wrong hands.
