USB Raptor
USB Raptor is a Windows app that contains instruments for safeguarding personal data on the hard drive. You are able to transform a standard USB Flash stick into a locking device, making certain files accessible only when it is attached to the PC. There are other solutions to prevent data leaks like BCArchive.
USB locking mechanism
After starting the utility users can set up a dedicated storage device as a key for the desktop. The system remains unlocked as long as it is connected, automatically preventing unauthorized access whenever the drive is removed. This effectively adds a physical layer of security to important files such as:
- Business documents;
- Private photos;
- Audio recordings, etc.
It is possible to protect access to the main interface with a personal password, making it harder for malicious actors to steal confidential information even if they obtain the required USB key. Moreover, there is an option to start the tool alongside the OS to avoid certain types of attacks during bootup.
Advanced settings
You are able to configure custom sound effects played during the locking and unlocking of the PC. Additionally, tools to automatically check the drive serial number on each connection are included. This hardware validation method is particularly secure.
