Encryption Software

Speaker: Mark Schulman, IT manager

How can you prevent your private data from leaking out into the world? Losing a flash drive, having your laptop stolen, or having someone spy on your email doesn’t have to mean that the bad guys see your private information. Learn how to use encryption software to protect your private data on PCs, laptops, external hard drives, USB flash drives, and even smartphones. Topics include:

– single-file encryption
– encrypted containers
– whole-drive encryption
– smartphone encryption

The presentation demonstrates several free software apps that make encryption easy to use for anyone.
