USB flash devices such as pen drives are an essential and most common way to carry along the data on the go. This could include the private and confidential files that you might want to secure to prevent them from unauthorized access, in case you lose the pen drive or someone at your workplace analyzes it while you’re away. Fortunately, such activity can be simply prevented by locking the flash drive using USB Safeguard.

USB Safeguard is a free, smart, and effective tool to encrypt and protect data with a
password on your removable pen drive using the AES 256 bits encryption. It is a portable program offering novice and expert users the ability to easily password protect the pen drive, thus protecting the valuable data stored on the flash drives and prevent data theft. It sets a password for the entire pen drive and not just for a certain file or folder. Once the drive is locked, one cannot read nor write any data to it without the correct password. Supports FAT16, FAT32 & NTFS file system, requires no installation.

      Then the last measure would be to format the drive.
