The best defense is to store your stuff off-line - on unconnected or unattached storage. Steganos Safe can be part of a strategy to defend yourself from ransomware, which is only becoming more common. Another alternative with its own downsides in to use BitLocker. You can of course use a self-decrypting archive, one that contains its own executable, but that's not quite the same thing. You can do this with the open source Veracrypt. I haven't tried with this version, but one thing Steganos used to be unable to do is store a portable, Driver-free vault on a USB drive - one that did not need drivers installed to access the files inside.
Putting the data you store in the cloud in a vault also prevents the scanning many cloud services practice. This trend by some biz has a bad side effect - the content of your files is available to subscription holders, same as if it was a malware sample. Storing a copy of a vault in the cloud makes sense - it actually makes double sense, since a cloud service provider **may** send everything to Virus Total before storing it. Steganos Safe is a good app, but with lots of competition, & the same potential shortcoming you can find with any similar encryption software - if someone(s) has gained access to your Windows device, they also have access to whatever you've encrypted when you decrypt it to view or use those files.
With the click of a button, Steganos Safe 17 protects all types of sensitive data on your PC, in networks, or in the cloud thanks to state-of-the-art 384-bit AES-XES encryption. The clearly structured user interface ensures that this highly professional security software package is intuitive and very easy to use. Steganos Safe is a digital vault that protects everything you don’t want anyone else to see.
