No matter your profession—business owner, student, professor or a stay-at-home parent—you most likely own a USB Flash Drive. And why wouldn’t you? USB flash drives are great. They allow you to store important documents and files so that you have access to them on-the-go. But if you lose your USB flash drive and it gets in the wrong sets of hands? Not so great.
Think about it—not only can a stranger get access to all sorts of personal information such as photos, home addresses and phone numbers which makes you extremely vulnerable to identity theft, but malicious people may also gain access to business secrets and other sensitive information that can lead to your downfall as well.
That said, it’s important that you learn how to encrypt your USB in case you ever lose it or worse, someone steals it. And if you are unaware of what encryption means, it’s simply referring to the act of protecting your files via a secure password that only you know.usb privacy
That said, there are tons of services that will allow users to encrypt their flash drive devices, but most encrypting software costs money. TrueCrypt on the other hand is free and relatively easy to use—and with more than 20,167,796 downloads since its inception, it is by far the most popular open-source encryption service on the market.
Upon downloading the service, the TrueCrypt Wizard creation screen should walk you through the process of installation. But if things get too complicated, refer to these directions listed below after you’ve downloaded and installed TrueCrypt to learn how to step up a basic encryption in 10 easy steps.
