SecurStick SecurStick is a fantastic option for anyone looking to encrypt and secure their data or even entire drives. Whether it's USB drive you want to protect or a drive inside your computer, SecurStick has it covered.
It is a free application that allows you to encrypt files by creating an encrypted portion of the drive you choose. Without providing any permissions such as admin privileges or user privileges, the application can safely store all your data.
You might be wondering by now how this magical software works. It's a basic concept that the developers took to the lab and refined. What SecurStick does is create an encrypted and safe space on the drive. This space is known as the secure area that can only be accessed with a password that the user who owns the data creates.
The password must have lowercase and uppercase letters as well as at least one number and a symbol. A strong password combined with encrypted data translates into a secure drive.
The key aspect of SecurStick is encrypting USB drives as they are the ones most vulnerable. The main function of a USB flash drive is its portability, and because of that, it can often land in undesired hands. To protect your data from ending up in unwanted places, SecurStick creates a secure area that once it is created can be accessed only by using a password.
You can access the secure area through your file browser in your Windows or through your browser using the link it provides you. You can then paste your data into the safe space. Once you have copied all the data that you want to secure, you can close the software to complete the encryption. It is that easy and simple.
To sum it up, SecurStick seems to be a software that most people will need at some point. It is a lightweight application that does its job well by keeping your data safe from unauthorized access. Whether it's a portable drive or an internal drive that you want to secure, SecurStick is your go-to software.
