About this episode

Naomi Brockwell discusses the importance of using encrypted USB drives to protect sensitive data.

Storing sensitive files on a normal USB drive is like writing your diary on a sticky note and leaving it in a taxi. If someone gets the drive, they get the files with no hacking required. But luckily you can use encryption to protect what's on your USB thumbdrive.
