Protect EXE is a Windows software that is designed to help developers and other users secure executable packages with a password. It is necessary to enter the correct keyphrase to access encrypted information, which is important for combating sensitive data leaks and intellectual property theft.

Usage instructions

After starting the application you can import the source file by clicking the corresponding button in the main workspace. The next step is to enter the alphanumeric combination that will be used as the password. Unlike in CloudShield EncryptSync, there is an option to create a backup copy of the original package.

Users are able to click Crypt EXE to generate a secure version of the file that can be safely sent to the recipient via email or other public channels. The contents of the executable will remain confidential even in the event of message interception by malicious actors.

Potential benefits

Software developers can prevent the threat of reverse engineering to minimize the risk of code stealing. Moreover, hackers are not able to incorporate malware modules into encrypted files. This helps you guarantee the authenticity of the source package when distributing it to multiple people.
