USB drives, external hard drives, and even some Windows laptops are usually unencrypted. This means that if you lose them or they get stolen, other people have access to the most intimate data in your life. Whether it's bikini photos, your passwords, or simply boring information like your pay stubs: I bet we all have something to hide! But help is at hand: If you want to encrypt individual files, a USB drive, an external hard drive, or even your entire Windows computer, then VeraCrypt is the ideal tool for you. It's free, open-source, available for all platforms, and incredibly secure. Even the US military relies on its encryption algorithms. In our first tool review, I'll explain step by step how VeraCrypt works and how you can use it to, for example, turn a USB drive into a bombproof safe.
