Now there's a software equivalent that protects sensitive files and directories from coming under attack. PCMesh Hide Files and Folders is a revolutionary new software product that actually renders sensitive files invisible. Invisible from the operating system, invisible from virus attack and invisible from spying eyes that won't even know the cloaked files or directories are present. Better Than Encryption Encrypted files are still visible on the hard drive. This makes them vulnerable to attack from anyone who is interested enough in the content of the files to spend time trying to decipher them. And with more and more hackers intent on defeating modern encryption algorithms, a need exists for a better type of protection. Once the most widely used method of protecting sensitive data from unauthorized eyes, the Data Encryption Standard (DES) was officially declared ineffective after a group of I.T. professionals were successful at cracking the technology behind the encryption. Data that's protected by PCMesh Hide Files and Folders is not visible, so it can't be attacked. In fact, the software itself does not even run continually, so it does not announce its presence to snoopers and hackers. The only time the software is active is when it’s being used to hide or reveal protected files or directories. In addition to rapidly becoming obsolete, current encryption programs are slow. It takes as long as 10 minutes per 200 MB to encrypt a file, while PCMesh Hide Files and Folders executes instantly regardless of the file size or number of files and folders being protected. Just one click is all it takes to render any file or directory invisible. Who should use PCMesh Hide Files and Folders? Hardly a day goes by that you don't hear some horror story about sensitive personal or financial data being compromised thanks to careless employees who lose their laptop computers and "black hats" who specialize in stealing data. Any organization that is charged with the responsibility of protecting sensitive personal, medical or financial data, especially those who are subject to the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, need to consider the liability of depending upon tools and techniques that have been proven vulnerable. PCMesh Hide Files and Folders is a viable alternative that should be seriously considered as the next generation file and directory protection utility. But PCMesh Hide Files and Folders is also the best choice for home PC users who want to keep personal information or any particular type of file, including documents or photographs, out of view from family members or other people who have access to the protected PC.
