Powerful Encryption Software Easily Turns Any USB Flash Drive Into a Secure Data Vault That Prevents Any Personal or Professional Files and Passwords from Being Lost or Stolen

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- ENC Security Systems Inc., creators of the world's most effective data protection software, today announced the launch of EncryptStick® Version 4.0. EncryptStick turns any USB flash drive into a highly-secure data vault so consumers and business PC users can secure sensitive information.

EncryptStick is the easiest way to protect all the documents, photos, videos and passwords stored on your computer from everyone, including hackers or thieves. EncryptStick lets users create invisible, encrypted vaults (folders containing sensitive files) on the flash drive itself, on any computer or removable device such as servers or portable hard-drives, as well as writeable media such as CDs, DVDs or SD memory cards.

"EncryptStick uses powerful 512 bit polymorphic encryption technology, which has never been broken or successfully hacked," said Ed Rusnak, President of ENC Security Systems Inc. "Our customers can be assured that no one will be able to access their data or hack their passwords."

The software enables users to create an unlimited number of invisible, encrypted vaults containing any type of file. The vaults are only visible when the EncryptStick enabled flash drive is inserted and the user's password is entered.

Once the EncryptStick-enabled flash drive is plugged into the computer's USB port, the software will run automatically and prompt the user for their password. After entering the password, the user can open existing vaults, create new vaults and easily encrypt or decrypt any file by right-clicking and selecting from a drop down menu, or simply dragging and dropping the files into the vault folders. EncryptStick also enables "encryption on the fly" with the ability to edit documents within vaults while the files are encrypted.

Automatic timeouts can be user-defined to lock the EncryptStick vaults and prompt for a password in the instance that you walk away from your computer with the flash drive inserted. If the flash drive is lost or stolen, it is useless to anyone without the password, providing all users with complete peace of mind knowing that their files are safe.

The recently published Symantec Internet Security Threat report stated that a hacking technique called keystroke-logging--often used to steal information such as online bank account credentials--made up 76 percent of all online threats. EncryptStick's Password Manager feature addresses this important security concern by enabling the user to securely log into sensitive websites, providing advanced algorithmic protection while sensitive passwords are entered.
