Summary
Now, many companies keep the important files in computers. But this is not an entirely safe way. Data disclosure will occur if we simply save them in the computer. In this essay, we will mainly talk about why files will be stolen and introduces the powerful tools to prevent data breach.
Leaks by employees – Some employees may send the important files by web mail or print them out. That can cause data leaks.
Take the unlocked files outside – As we all know, we usually meet with clients, with the important files taken. But it is a potential risk of data breach. If the files saved in the USB flash drive are not locked, they will be leaked once the USB is inserted into the virus-affected computer.
Part 2: How to Prevent Data Breach
To prevent data breach from the external device, we shall draw support from the professional tool. Next, we introduce the software that protects the external devices – Renee USB Block. The followings are the details about how to prevent data breach with Renee USB Block.

4. Click on [Website Lock] to restrict access to the specific websites. That can prevent data breach from the virus-affected websites and the files sent from some dangerous webs.
5. In the [USB Activity], we can check all USB flash drives’ behavior history.
Part 3: How to Encrypt USB Files
In addition to making restriction to the external devices, we can lock the files for further protection. Many people wonder whether it is hard to lock and encrypt files. As a matter of fact, it is very easy and quick. We recommend the professional file encryption software – Renee SecureSilo.
Renee SecureSilo is one of the welcomed encryption software. It is featured as convenience and security. Users can place the USB files into a private disk and enter the password to unlock in the computer with Renee SecureSilo installed.
Easy to modify - Users can create a virtual disk and place files into the disk. Users can access data inside immediately and close when unnecessary. Different from compression software like RAR/ZIP/7ZIP, modifying data which is protected with Renee SecureSilo will not waste your time on decompression.
Safe - Due to the private virtual disk format and the advanced AES256 encryption technology, it cannot be easily cracked down by the common crackers.
