VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt is an open-source software that encrypts files and entire drives, making your data unreadable without a password. It creates secure "containers" or encrypts partitions to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. Think of it as a digital safe—your files are only accessible with the correct key (password). VeraCrypt enhances privacy on your computer, whether you're protecting personal files or sensitive work data, by preventing others from easily viewing or stealing your information even if your device is lost or stolen.
