How to lock flash drives with USB Secure?
Flash drives, memory cards and other storage devices have renewed the concept of data storage. These small storage devices are portable, reasonably priced and can store a ton of information. These features make removable media devices cost-effective and convenient for individuals, companies and institutions.
Although these storage devices are small and convenient; they pose a risk of identity theft if they are stolen, misplaced or lost. Remember when it comes to identity theft, a little can go a long way. Imagine what would happen if your flash drive or any other storage device gets stolen and puts you at risk of identity theft or jeopardizes your reputation at work. That’s why companies, institutions and individuals are very much concerned about protecting their flash drives and other storage devices.
USB Secure is the perfect choice for those who want to secure USB flash drives, thumb drives, memory cards and sticks. It is a small, easy to use security application that can password protect all types of storage devices including USB flash drives, thumb drives, pen drives, jump drives, memory cards and memory sticks within seconds.
USB Secure is an easy and safe way to lock your USB flash drive. Furthermore, the program supports plug and play which means whenever you plug in your device to your computer, USB Secure automatically detects it and asks you for the password to protect and unprotect your data.
Follow these simple steps to protect USB drives.
- • Plug in USB flash drive
- • Run the setup program to install USB Secure
