Recommendations for ensuring Dekart Private Disk security

In order to enhance protection of your proprietary information we advise that you follow the recommendations listed below.

First. The length of password to access your virtual encrypted disk should have enough length. The optimal length - 8 random symbols, including upper-case and lower-case letters, digits, punctuation marks etc. Neither write the password down, nor leave this paper behind your computer, try to remember it!

Second. Create backup copies of your virtual encrypted disks a t a regular interval. This will allow you to restore your data in case the file-images are lost or corrupted (see Backing up virtual encrypted disk data and Restoring virtual encrypted disk data sections).

Third. Create backup copies of the encryption keys. In case you forget the password for accessing the encrypted disk, the backup copy of the encryption key will allow you to decrypt the data (see Creating backup copy of the encryption key and Restoring the encryption key of the virtual encrypted disk from the backup copy ).

Fourth. Leaving your workplace even for a short period of time take care to unmount all mounted virtual encrypted disks (see Mounting/unmounting virtual encrypted disk section).
