HELSINKI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jetico, long-trusted pioneer in data protection, has announced the release of its Mac drive encryption software. Expanding on many years of Windows support, BestCrypt Volume Encryption is now the world’s only independent software for Mac disk encryption of all native volumes, that is separate from operating systems and built without backdoors.
“BestCrypt users gain an added layer of security by segmenting data encryption from the hardware and operating system provider,” explains Jetico CEO, Michael Waksman. “At Jetico, we are proud to serve Mac users looking for an independent alternative to Apple’s own FileVault to encrypt hard drives.”
BestCrypt offers an ideal encryption solution for offices with mixed OS environments and for individuals using both Windows and macOS. When considering how to encrypt an external hard drive, Mac and Windows must both be supported to securely and reliably access private data. Whichever operating system is used, BestCrypt will seamlessly care for customer data protection.
Mr. Waksman adds, “many users switch between Windows and Mac computers. For our customers, this is a long-awaited relief to continue using BestCrypt – the preferred independent encryption software without backdoors.”
