If you are planning on protecting college data with VeraCrypt - we'd encourage you to consult with the Information Security Officer, Paul Chauvet, before starting.
If you always just open the encrypted area when you start your computer and leave it open, it is not sufficiently protected from any malware or cyber-criminal.įor more information on encryption in-general, see our " Encryption Guide". You need to make sure to close (dismount) the encrypted volume when you are not working with those files. This will protect files at-rest on your computer, but with one main caveat.
If you want to protect a large number of files, an encrypted file container using the free/open-source VeraCrypt software might be the best option.
