As safe as modern systems are from cyberattacks, many hacks are oftentimes disguised as harmless file downloads, unsuspicious websites or friendly-looking emails, leading to plenty of human errors as the leading cause of data loss or ransomware infestations. Among the myriad of ways in which users can protect themselves, encrypting the most pivotal files stands out as an easy way to prevent malicious actors from modifying them.

With it, users can automate the process of locking PDFs behind customizable passwords to deter hackers from either viewing their information or forging official ones to suit a certain narrative. Thanks to the ability to restrict the printing option, competitor businesses’ undercover employees or disgruntled associates seeking revenge for certain corporate decisions cannot dodge the digital surveillance by acquiring physical copies of documents without permission.

Finally, thanks to its terminal usage approach, those with keyboard-focused workflows can not only avoid navigating through multiple UI windows but also set up macros to swiftly input the precise series of commands for a faster encryption process.
