ProtectPack = Ultimate Usability

Usability is one of the greatest benefits delivered by ProtectPack. ProtectPack functions seamlessly with Windows workstations enabling users to encrypt and compress files in one step within the common Windows environment. A direct link to the ProtectPack command icon within the Windows Context Menu is displayed by right clicking on any file, group of files or folders.

Double clicking ‘packed’ files within the ‘File Open’ context window or Windows Explorer, directly brings up the option to enter the pass-phrase, enabling ProtectPack to immediately open the file.

The option for creating self-extracting files delivers additional benefit to the ProtectPack user. Recipients of data secured by ProtectPack, who do not have ProtectPack installed on their PC, can gain access to packed documents, with nothing to install or prepare.

Seamless integration with Windows Explorer Context Menu

Ease of use and rapid uptake.

Quick packing and unpacking of files, respectively via right-click and double-click, ensures ease of use in Microsoft Windows environments. Users with basic Windows knowledge will not need application specific training to operate ProtectPack, ensuring high levels of usability and uptake.

Option to attach a self-extractor for ‘packed’ files

Secure data exchange with any recipient.

Users can easily exchange encrypted data without the recipient having ProtectPack installed on their device and without a shared IT infrastructure. Only the pass-phrase is required to unlock and open the encrypted file.

Streamlined compression and encryption of data

Minimize bandwidth and storage consumption.

The compression of data before encryption ensures the smallest possible file size. This reduces congestion and bandwidth costs within network channels, and allows increased data storage on portable media.
