One of the most popular means of transporting large chunks of data involves the use of portable external drives such as USB flash drives or external hard drives.
However, despite their popularity, the biggest drawback is related to security – in other words, not having the option to password protect your external drive.
Think about it, PCs allow you to setup a username and password, this prevents other users from accessing your desktop, it's only logical that external drives come with the same option, yet this is not the case with external data storage devices.
Lock USB allows you to password-protect any USB flash drive or external drive.
Foolproof password-protection for portable data. Installs directly into your external storage device.
Even if you end up losing your device, be it through misplacement or theft, you don’t have to worry about anyone stealing your data.
Lock USB is the only Windows-based software that offers cross-platform protection.
Secure your USB drive and protect your files by simply setting a PIN and clicking the LOCK button.
To access your files and unlock the USB drive, just enter your PIN and click the UNLOCK button.
Most USB drives and external hard-drives come with no option for password protection, therefore anyone who happens to possess your portable drive will be able to access the data inside.
Often times, we unintentionally save sensitive information on our external drives without even realizing it. Accordingly, since portable storage devices are often moved from one place to another, it also makes them prone to theft and loss.
If you end up losing your device, chances are high that someone will find your device and your data will be accessed. Thus, Lock USB prevents such incidents by password protecting USB drives.
