USB Storage Security – Protecting Your Valuable Data

Trevor Johnson asked:




With the increasing usage of handy USB sticks, the question of USB storage security follows not far behind. The devices are so small that it’s getting easier and easier to lose them. If all you carry on your USB drive is a photo of your loved ones then you may not need to use any form of USB storage security. But if you care about anything that you store on one of your USB flash drives, you really should investigate adding a password to either the folders on it or the complete flash drive. So how can you do this easily?

Whilst Windows provides a way of handling security, it’s not designed for mere mortals like you and me. It’s an awkward process and you need to be fully geeked up to be able to use it. So that’s likely not an option.

Next up, there may have been some software when you bought your USB stick. But with the driving down of costs even that may have been scrapped for your drive. Even if your USB flash drive came with some kind of password protection software, chances are that it’s fairly flimsy and difficult to use. A bit like the cut down versions of the photo manipulation software that came with your digital camera and you tried to use once before giving up on the world’s most complicated installation routine. If you’re lucky, you will have some workable software to provide your USB storage with security. But don’t hold your breath.

The other option is to do what most people do to provide their USB storage security: get hold of some specialist software that handles all the awkward stuff and lets you move your USB around in peace, safe in the knowledge that if it does get lost or stolen, the person who gets hold of it won’t be able to access any of your files.
