USB flash drives, memory cards, and external hard drives make it easy to back up and share your data. And they are becoming increasingly important. But what happens if you lose or misplace one of these devices?

In many cases, the result is a data breach.  Data breaches can be prevented by encrypting your USB peripherals and external storage devices. Hackers can find ways to insert the most seemingly harmless data to use in their malicious attacks.

If you are a business user or a company, data protection regulations like GDPR or HIPAA may be mandatory, meaning you'll need to encrypt your data.  Even if your company does not comply with these regulations, it is important to encrypt your USB peripherals to prevent data leaks, which can cause irreparable damage to your business.

There are many software in the market today to encrypt your USB flash drives, a popular one among them is BitLocker; however, BitLocker encryption is a long and tedious process.

A convenient and more flexible alternative to BitLocker is the USB Security, which you can download in minutes and get started. You can visit the website of the developers to learn more and download the software.
