To businesses and individuals alike, cybersecurity remains a paramount concern. In today’s digital climate, there are many threats to data stored on laptop computers, remote servers, mobile devices, and portable storage media such as flash drives and external hard drives. One of the primary methods for securing stored data is encryption. Encryption can be applied granularly, such as to individual files or folders containing sensitive information, or broadly, to partitions or entire hard drives.
Storage encryption software typically requires users to provide a password or other authentication before encrypted data can be accessed. When the user opens encrypted files, saves new files, or performs other operations involving the hard drive, the encryption software transparently decrypts and encrypts the necessary files on the hard drive as needed.
