Encrypting USB Drive (at least for Windows Users) - TC2027

A lot of people use USB drives, and we put sensitive information on it

We obviously don't want anyone accessing our information without our consent, but what if we lost that USB? then it would be completely vulnerable and free to use for anyone that finds it (or we could "lose" a rubber ducky and have fun with it).  

We can protect our USB by encrypting it, it can still be hacked but it's much more difficult and it requires technical skill that a random person that could find your USB laying around may not have.

I read that you can use BitLocker for it, however, since I dont have BitLocker on my computer, I did my research on more ways to do this, if you want to try BitLocker, check my references at the end.

Steps:

1. Download Rohos from https://www.rohos.com/products/rohos-disk-encryption/
2. Select the language you want it installed
3. Click next
4. Accept terms and agreements
5. Select where to put the folder and click Next
6. Click install
7. You're done, you can run Rohos now

So after I ran Rohos, I plugged in my USB and clicked Cypher the USB unit, and it checks for connected USBs. 

After that, I entered the password clicked Next and you have to wait for the process to finish.

And there you have it, you can add important documents or stuff you want inside your USB and don't worry (that much) if you lose it.

There are many options, you can search for one that fits you the best but I found this one to be pretty easy and with a free 30 day trial.
