Encrypt Hard Drives with BestCrypt Volume Encryption
Protect data from physical threats (stolen computers, lost drives)
Added resilience against cyberattacks
Strong encryption for compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS)
Industry-best firmware support (UEFI, GPT, RAID)
Central management for enterprises
Features;
Encrypt System & Boot Volumes (Feature for Windows, Mac)Encrypts the volume from which operating system (OS) boots from, as well as the volume where OS stores system files. Check out the 5 benefits of using volume encryption vs. disk encryption.
Pre-Boot Authentication (Feature for Windows, Mac)User authentication before operating system loads is required when OS System/Boot volume is encrypted.
Strong Encryption Algorithms (Feature for Windows, Mac)BestCrypt Volume Encryption utilizes strong encryption algorithms (AES, ARIA, Camellia, Serpent and Twofish). Every algorithm is implemented with the largest possible key size defined in the algorithm's specification, all available with the most secure XTS encryption mode (learn more).
Two-Factor Authentication (Feature for Windows)Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), aka Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), is an extra layer of security added to password protection. BestCrypt Volume Encryption supports Yubikey and SafeNet eToken hardware tokens, as well as regular removable disks, for secure hardware storage of encryption keys.
Self-Efficient Encrypted USB (Feature for Windows)Create encrypted removable drives that can be later accessed with your password from another computer where BestCrypt Volume Encryption is not necessarily installed.
Scalable Disk Encryption (Feature for Windows)Choose to encrypt entire computer, selected disk volumes or a single volume - whether entirely, or just the disk space taken by files.
Single Sign-On (Feature for Windows)Save time by automatically logging in to Windows with your encryption password.
Secure Hibernation (Feature for Windows)To protect your computer when left unattended BestCrypt Volume Encryption automatically locks it during hibernation, encrypts contents of the hibernation file and requires authentication on wake-up.
Support for UEFI Secure Boot (Feature for Windows) Protects your password and encryption keys from being intercepted (e.g. with an Evil Made Attack) by checking digital signature of all modules responsible for booting encrypted computer.
Support for Trusted Computing (TPM) (Feature for Windows) Configure Unattended Mount at Restart to store encryption keys securely inside a Trusted Platform Module allowing to reboot without authentication. Useful for updating encrypted servers, remote management or sending encrypted computers to a service.
Transparent Operation (Feature for Windows, Mac)BestCrypt Volume Encryption does not interrupt with your workflow. You can continue using your computer while encryption is in progress. You can also pause the encryption process and resume it later.
Rescue Functions to Decrypt Volumes in Emergency Case (Feature for Windows, Mac)- Bootable CD/DVD - Bootable USB_ Rescue decryption of non-system volumes with Rescue File _ Windows bootable Live CD
* New Features in Version 5 for Windows *
Added Resilience against Cyberattacks & Enhanced Security
Protection from brute-force attacks — Customize parameters of Scrypt key derivation algorithm for extra security against password-iterating attacks.
Manage self-encrypting drives — Enable whole disk encryption on TCG Opal 2.0 storage drives for an extra layer of protection.
Two-factor authentication — Boost your security with 2FA for a range of new hardware, including PKCS #15-compliant smart cards and crypto tokens.
Improved Performance
Faster encryption with added hardware-level acceleration for ARIA and Camellia encryption algorithms.
Seamless, on-the-fly encryption with AES implementations optimized for x64 CPU architecture.
Performance upgrade for the fastest NVM Express storage devices.
Better Usability
Customizable graphic themes, international language support and virtual keyboard added to UEFI pre-boot environment
BestCrypt Volume Encryption modules now integrated with Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), allowing for smooth troubleshooting in Windows without removing encryption.
International characters now available for encryption passwords, increasing potential character variety and making password attacks more difficult.
