Folder Protection

The purpose of encryption is to prevent third parties from recovering the original information

Folder protection, or file level protection, is much more than just marking a folder/file as read only.  For your truly important files, you need convenient access and the ability to edit the contents. So, what is the best way to protect your important data?

A comprehensive approach would include the use of Firewalls, Anti-Virus and Malware tools, and finally, encryption of the folder/file containing the sensitive information.

This discussion is limited to the encryption of the sensitive data.  The purpose of encryption is to prevent third parties from accessing the original information.

There are many encryption solutions available today, a few examples are PGP, TrueCrypt, CriptoForge and others. While choices are abundant, many applications can present a challenge to the non-professional user as most a very difficult to use.  Of course, there is the other end of the spectrum, very easy to use, but lacking in real data protection; why bother trying to protect your information if the protection itself is easily hacked?

We believe that CE-Secure Pro Encryption Software offers the best of both worlds, very easy to use and provides AES 256 bit encryption. Basically, a special file is created on the storage device of choice (internal, external, HD, Flash, etc.).  It is presented to the operating system to appear as a drive (drive L: for instance); when the user lauches the application and puts in the correct password, the drive letter appears.  Without authentication, the file has a name (what you named the "vault" when you created it), but its contents are not able to be examined.

Sounds more complicated than it is.
