Encryption of data, storage, hard disk

Data Encryption provides good protection of personal and business data which resides on servers or workstations. It could protect your important data from being stolen. Encrypted files cannot be seen as file name or opened without knowing the decrypting password.

  • There is a risk unauthorized persons to get access to your server or workstation
  • You keep important finance or accounting documents
  • You keep personal files and email message related to important business communication
  • You keep business and personal contacts information

  • Encrypt disk partition or entire volume
  • High reliability and option to select appropriate encryption algorithm
  • Allows decryption even if there is software issue
  • Encryption software should be chosen according the specific needs and type of the operating system
  • It is recommended in parallel with the encryption to use backup software to keep second copy of your data

Encryption disadvantages

  • Decryption operation requires server / workstation resources and could affect the performance
