Product Description

Why do you need Steganos Privacy Suite? Your privacy is constantly in danger: Whether you share your computer or are using a laptop. Whether you have confidential data on your hard drive or use a USB stick to transport data. Whether your PC is being repaired or to be sold and you would like to clean up your hard drive. You leave traces ­ online and offline: The acquisitiveness of today's programs has no limits. Passwords can be a real security threat: When they are easy to guess. But who can actually remember secure ­ thus complicated ­ passwords? E-mails can easier be read than post cards. However, many times confidential information is sent out via e-mail anyway as it seems bothersome to use complicated encryption technology. How does Steganos Privacy Suite work? The Steganos Privacy Suite combines nine powerful tools to protect your privacy: The Steganos Safes protect your sensitive Data: they are your encrypted hard drives. Create as many as you like - each contains up to 512 GB of your pictures, music, documents, movies... You can turn your USB stick and even your iPod into a Portable Safe which can be opened on any computer*. Remembering passwords is unnecessary: Open your Safe with an iPod®, USB stick ­or by clicking on a sequence of pictures. Your laptop got lost or stolen? With Steganos AntiTheft your chances of getting it back are substantially increased. In any event, your data is untouchable. Save your Password Manager on your Pocket-PC: Like this your passwords, PINs, and TANs are always traveling securely encrypted with you. The Steganos Shredder destroys sensitive data completely and, if desired, even retroactively. E-Mail encryption as easy as 1-2-3: The receiver only needs the password you assigned, and the message is decrypting on its own. Hide encrypted data in pictures and sound files - Steganography is the ultimate Privacy protection, as nobody even sees that you might have something to protect.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class Security Software! Easy-to-use, Must Have Tool to Protect Your Data!, December 17, 2008

L. Marin (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Steganos Privacy Suite 2008 - Encryption 256 Bit AES (CD-ROM)

I first was skeptical spending $79.95 on something I have never heard about but since I was urgently looking for something that would protect my data and keep my information private, I went ahead and bought it.

I received the package only 1 day later and was very excited about getting started. The installation was surprisingly easy and absolutely straight forward; after only 2 minutes I had my first data safe set up and could encrypt my files and folders. The nice thing is that you actually don't notice a difference in terms of complexity or usability, your safe is just like any other hard drive, yet in fact it's encrypted, which is great! Oh, and you can even make it disappear, so it's not just protected by a password but also it's also hidden.

Apart from the Safe, the Privacy Suite is full of other features I have started to love! My favorite is the Password Manager, which is a very easy to use tool allowing you to store and categorize all your passwords, user logins, credit card numbers, etc. in only one encrypted list. Whenever you navigate to a website or open an application that was registered with your password manager, your username and password are entered automatically.

Also, the AntiTheft feature is very interesting. It sends out a hidden signal to one of Steganos' servers and in case your laptop gets lost or stolen you can use that signal to determine its location.

Finally, there is a trace destructor, an email encryption tool, and a function that allows you to encrypt individual files and folders. All work nicely and are well tuned to each other.

In summary, this program is worth much more than the mere $79.95 they charge and everybody claiming something else was probably too lazy to actually install it or is working for a competitor.
