London, UK: Becrypt, has announced general availability of Disk Protect, v8.5.0. This latest version of the popular full disk encryption solution, which comes in a variety of flavours suitable for protecting all levels of classified and commercial data, now provides support for Windows 10 environments. Customers already using Disk Protect for Windows 7 and Windows 8 estates will be able to upgrade Disk Protect to Windows 10 in-place, meaning that there is no requirement to un-install and re-install, saving time and reducing complexity. Becrypt Disk Protect is still the only CESG CPA approved software-based full disk encryption solution for protecting classified data up to OFFICIAL.

Cath Hackett, VP of Product Portfolio at Becrypt, commented: “Findings from the Information Commissioners Office show that in the most recent quarter there was an increase of 22% in data breach incidents resulting from loss of theft of unencrypted devices. Government and defence organisations have always been highly security-conscious, however, with the increase in cybercrime we are now seeing increasing numbers of commercial organisations looking to take a more proactive stance towards protecting data. At Becrypt we are committed to providing robust security products that are transparent and provide a great user experience, supporting the more flexible and mobile way we work today.”
