"'Privacy and data theft protection tools are on their way there,' says Aston Fallen, CEO of privacy software company Steganos (...). 'The consumer is realizing how important it is not only to protect the perimeter of the machine from infiltration from viruses and spyware and so forth, but to protect the data on the machine from malicious misuse.' About Steganos Privacy Suite 2008: (...) The included shredder is terrific, offering manual or scheduled secure deletion of both free space and any files or folders you choose. (...) Overall, this collection makes an excellent companion for your antispyware and antivirus tools."

"Losing sensitive information from an IT system can cause long-term damage, but encrypting data could prevent a disaster. Steganos CEO Aston Fallon explains how encryption software works."

"If other people have physical access to your computer they could quite easily steal your personal data and important files. One of the easiest ways to help avoid this is to password-protect your user account, although it is also possible to password-protect the BIOS to prevent unauthorised access. Encryption tools such as Steganos Safe (...) can be used to help protect data."

"Aston Fallen, CEO, Steganos, said: “Identity theft is a growing crime and our survey shows that wi-fi users are putting themselves at risk unnecessarily. Through the personal and work emails and the ecommerce activities that people undertake, they risk revealing personal information that could be used to steal their identities. Using strong encryption to protect data in transit is the only approach that is guaranteed to defend wi-fi users. Even if data is intercepted, criminals will not be able to decode it and exploit it.”"
