you could never be secure enough in the uncertain and constantly changing world of cybersecurity.
Things go awry just when you think youve got to handle nothing.
One of the additional layers of data security is encryption.
On Windows, too, encrypting your Windows files or folders makes them inaccessible to unauthorized users from outside.
Let’s look at how you might get started.
Well start with the most straightforward method: using the Properties section of your Windows file or folders.
Pick one of the options and click onOK.
You might get a new dialog box asking for administration privileges as soon you do this.
Click onContinueto go ahead.
Your folder or file will be encrypted from now on.
7-Zip usesAES-256 encryption, the first and only publicly shared cipher created by NSA.
To get started,grab the 7-Zip installer from the downloads sectionfirst.
Once you get to the file or folder, right-hit it and select7-Zip -> Add to archive.
From theAdd to Archivedialog box, set a specific password in theEncryptionsection.
Finally, when youve picked all the tweaks, click onOK.
As soon as you do this, youll get asked for a password for decryption first.
Enter it and click onOKand your data be decrypted.
Of course, thats no longer the case now.
However, as you probably already know, there’s more besides simply encryption.
