AxCrypt Mobile Encryption is Finally here!

In this digital age, we understand how critical it is to keep data protected, therefore with the start of the new year, we are thrilled to announce that after heavy development, AxCrypt has finally launched the mobile encryption feature for Business and Premium users. Now you can encrypt and decrypt files on your Android phone, iPhone, or tablet from anywhere and at any time.

What is mobile encryption?

Mobile encryption goes above and beyond a regular lock screen password. It is a one-stop for safeguarding all of your personal information and data on your mobile phones from prying eyes or if your mobile gets lost or stolen. Encryption stores your phone's information in an unreadable, jumbled format that can only be read with the correct credentials. This means that if your phone falls into the wrong hands, no one will be able to decipher any of the data unless they know your password.

From saving your data from getting compromised to making your personal details super-secret, mobile encryption can do it all for you. A misplaced or abandoned device poses a significant security risk; particularly if it lacks a strong PIN or password, as well as full data encryption. Sensitive documents and files in the device will be vulnerable to theft. If an encrypted device, on the other hand, falls into the wrong hands or is lost, the owner may rest assured that his or her data is secure and will not be viewed by outsiders without the key.

As a result of the pandemic, the world has grown more digital than ever before, with individuals working from home and spending more time using their phones to transfer and exchange critical information.

Phishing

Phishing assaults have surged sixfold during the pandemic, and mobile devices are now the primary target. Scammers are aware that people who work from home spend more time on their mobile and do not take the same safety measures as they would on a traditional PC. Anyone who stumbles across your phone or laptop can easily access the files contained within; however, with encryption, accessing that data is extremely tough.

Data leakage

A data leak occurs when sensitive information is transferred unintentionally from a mobile device to an internet service. If the device fails to protect data effectively, the data then becomes available to anybody who uses the same network as the device.

Wi-Fi interference

We live in an era where we're all continuously connected to networks that aren't always secure. According to researchers, mobile devices utilize Wi-Fi nearly three times as much as data. Almost a quarter of devices connect to unsecured Wi-Fi networks, and 4% of devices are subjected to a man-in-the-middle attack.

AxCrypt has been awarded “The World's Best Encryption Software” by PC Magazine for the past six years and including this year and has a global presence with over 20 million downloads AxCrypt offers strong encryption with 256-bit encryption to secure your data in the three stages of data; data at rest, at transit, and in use.
