Review: SecureDoc

Review: SecureDoc

SecureDoc is a competent full disk encryptor that uses the AES algorithm and SHA-2 hashing. It works with a token to which the user can save the key file, rather than saving it on the computer. This adds significant extra security – if the user does not store the USB token in their laptop case. The product also supports basic password security and quite a wide range of third-party pre-boot authentication products.

Me and my job

Me and my job

I had worked first in physical security and then in law enforcement since I was 18 years-old. But I got tired of getting shot at, literally. So I decided to do something more sedate. I worked on officers' computers. I went into a computer helpdesk role back in 2000. I had the joy of finding out that you could do computers and security and I have never looked back.
