It is based on TrueCrypt which is now discontinued, hence I won't recommend it. VeraCrypt will offer full-disk encryption you need. It works without issue on Windows 7 Pro, I use it myself.
Anywhoo using DiskCryptor at power on is identical to just having a power on password. Except that all of you data is encrypted.
You can pull the drive for recovery from the system launch DiskCryptor on your system and unencrypt the drive to recover any files needed. Alternatively, without the encryption code any tracking of a stolen device is pretty much worthless.
Useful options and very easy to configure! TrueCrypt has been a dropped project not that there are any flaws with the software but if any flaws are ever discovered they will not be patched. If you are encrypting due to business regulations or industry regulations such as HIPPA, I would recommend using a paid encryption product that provides client management and centralized reporting. Because safe-harbor does not apply, if you cannot prove that the laptop disk's were encrypted at or around the time of the theft or loss, even if it's disks were fully encrypted.
In this situation, you need to be able to prove that the disk's were still encrypted that last time the client checked in with the mgmt server.
So if it is for regulatory reasons, I recommend Symantec Desktop Encryption combined with a Symantec Encryption Mgmt server or another product that also offers client management and centralized reporting. As of right now, we'll be discussing many options with the team, I just wanted to see what all of you on Spiceworks suggested. We're waiting right now to see if we'll be moving to Windows 10, and in the meantime we'll be testing out a few of the options you all mentioned.
I know Rollback Rx Home Edition encrypts the drive and I have a family member who uses it on Windows 7 so I think that might be a solid bet. Sam is the rep for Rollback on here, he'd be the best person to answer any encryption related questions. We're in the same boat. Can't buy 7 Ultimate any more. Looked at a few options, but really prefer Bitlocker, so we're going to test the next few new laptops with Win The NCC audit found no evidence of deliberate backdoors, or any severe design flaws that will make the software insecure in most instances.
In addition to what Rich C. The free full disk encryption software may work really well to encrypt the hard drives, but how will you manage the passwords and keys for the FDE software?
I haven't used Veracrypt what many in this thread are recommending , but the instructions for changing the encryption keys on a machine look rather complicated imagine having to do that for all your PCs.
How will you manage deployment of the software? It doesn't appear there is an automated deployment method for some of these free FDE packages, so you're going to have to go to every PC to deploy it and manage it. Finally, what about the end user experience?
I'm not aware of any free FDE software that offers single sign-on , which means now your users will have two passwords to remember when logging in to their PCs in the morning.
Not only will your password fatigue increase, but you'll then have to re-key your PCs when users leave the company. If there is actually a problem with TC, then VeraCrypt will have the same issue, unless that fork has been patched for that issue.
In this step, you are required to specify a password for encrypting the drive, enter the password and click "Next". You should choose a password having a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, spaces, and special symbols. Once the encryption is complete, you can access the drive using this password. Step 4. Back up BitLocker recovery key , then click "Next" to move on. You can save the recovery key to a file or print a copy of it. Please note that anyone can use the recovery key to gain access to the drive, even if they do not know the password entered in the previous step, so please do not disclose it to others.
Step 5. Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere will now encrypt the contents of the selected drive using BitLocker drive encryption. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Hello, in Windows 7 Professional, when you right-click on a file or folder and click on 'properties' and under the attributes advanced you have a option of encrypting your files. Windows says that encrypting your files will help protect it from other people and keep it secure.
I have tried this option and I noticed that the color of the name of the folder changes to green. What I want to know is that how is it helping to keep my files safe. I mean, when I click on the file, it easily opens without asking for any password not even the one I set in the key certificate.
