File Own Guard

File Own Guard, developed by Thegrideon Software, is an exceptional program under the Security category, specifically designed for Privacy. The latest version, 2.1, known by the program file name FileOwnGuard.exe, brings an extensive range of features ensuring top-notch data security.

A highlight of File Own Guard is its ability to perform strong file encryption using a wide range of crypto-algorithms such as AES, MARS, RC6, SERPENT, and TWOFISH. This means users can rest assured that their files are secure from unauthorized access. With the capability to handle on-the-fly multi-choice compression, it enhances data protection significantly. Beyond encryption, it supports secure file removal (shredding) using eight varying algorithms, including DoD, Air Force System Security Instructions 5020, NAVSO P-5239-26, U.S. Department of Defense Sanitizing (DoD 5220.22-M), and the German Standard VSITR, to name a few.

Another useful feature of File Own Guard is the creation of Self-Extracting Crypt Archives. This functionality is especially advantageous for users needing to share encrypted files via email or removable media, ensuring convenience and data security. The program ensures comprehensive data destruction by overwriting files before deletion and destroying file size, cluster number, and time metadata. More
