DiskCryptor

Protecting your digital data can start right from the basics, and that is the actual data storage medium. With disks of various types being the preferred storage medium for most applications, it is fair to address the security and encryption aspects starting with these. This is what DiskCryptor aims to tackle.

In an attempt to allow users to safeguard their data, this software will provide specialized means for encrypting disk data in a variety of ways, relying on passwords, key files, or more, and enable users to also mount the preferred disks.

I enjoyed the simple and concise design of DiskCryptor, and especially that of the main disks’ overview, which, in my opinion, offers a reliable way of previewing disk metadata, as well as choosing the preferred action for each.

Encrypting and mounting the preferred disks is an easy task, and users will have access to encrypting either entire disks, partitions, as well as external storage data. The actual encryption process itself is straightforward and is accessible even to novices, thanks to the friendly process.

I also liked the fact that the app addresses ISO encryption, allowing you to create encrypted images for secure data storage, and that you will benefit from pre-boot authentication which can add an extra layer of security, and prevent unwanted access.

Several extra features offer even more versatility, addressing header data backup and restore, which I found to be very helpful, together with the succinct yet capable settings menu, offer a complete package.

Featuring a simple design, DiskCryptor manages to provide reliable performance when it comes to data encryption for disks, partitions, as well as remote partitions, providing several extra features for enhancing overall functionality.
