• Disk Firewall - maintain a 'white-list' of allowed applications which are able to access the files within the encrypted disk. Applications which are not included in the list will be rejected if they attempt to read or modify the data on your disk. This is a 100% efficient measure against malicious programs, viruses, and other 'external factors'.
• Mobility - allows securing files on most types of removable and fixed media, including USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, ZIP-disks, all types of flash memory cards, PDAs, iPods and external hard drives.
• Ease of use - your end-users, employees, customers using your final application find it perfect for daily use as they don't need to be security experts to enjoy the excellent level of protection.
• Advanced administration - auto-disconnect at inactivity timeout, auto-execute programs and files, versatile logging system, virtual disk activity monitor, Image backup and compression mechanism, separate storage of actual data and encryption-key data, automatic NTFS ACL management, automatic shared folders management, integration into a broad range of development environments.
• Compatible with Windows Vista and 64-bit platforms (IA-64 and AMD64).
• Autorun, Disk Firewall and Autofinish can be disabled without losing their lists.
• Enhanced secrecy - the date of last access of an image can be reset,  making  it impossible to see whether the encrypted image was read or updated.

System requirements: Compatible with literally any Windows version which is currently in use, from 9x to 2003 (including the latest service pack updates) and Windows Vista.
