KakaSoft USB Copy Protection
Price: $
The USB Copy Protection application by KakaSoft is one of the most effective protection software out there for your USB devices. But what exactly is USB copy protection? What exactly does this application do for you?
Well, KakaSoft has managed to create an effective way to protect your data on your USB devices from getting overwritten or affected by any read/write operation that comes from a computer that the device is plugged into. It is a brilliant way to protect your data on your USBs. Not only that, but the application also provides you with the option of password protecting your devices so that nobody else can access them if they don't have the password.
The USB Copy Protection software works on all USB storage devices, flash drives, memory cards, and even CDs (writable of course). Now while an average consumer might not require it, all the major organizations require copy protection software to make sure their classified data remains safe and out of dangerous hands.
There is cross-platform availability, as the application is available on Windows and Linux both. The compatibility between the two platforms is not so great however as a storage device protected by the Windows version might not work very well on Linux and vice versa.
Talking about protection, multiple layers of high-end encryption are used to ensure that the data cannot be misused in any way. It cannot be overwritten or accessed without the right password. It is particularly useful when USBs are stolen or lost. All the sensitive data could end up in dangerous hands if that happens. KakaSoft USB Protection Software will save the day for you.
A great feature of this application is that the encrypted data will only show up in KakaSoft USB Copy Protection software and not in Windows Explorer as usual. That will save the consumers from a lot of problems.
To sum it up, the KakaSoft USB Copy Protection software may not be perfect but it does protect your USBs and other storage devices perfectly enough. If you have any sensitive data that needs protection while also staying on portable devices, this software is for you.
