Data Is Most Vulnerable When It’s Accessed
Think of BestCrypt Data Shelter as a firewall for your sensitive files. Just as a network firewall decides which traffic is allowed in or out, BestCrypt Data Shelter decides which users, applications and processes are allowed to access your protected data.
Sensitive data is most vulnerable the moment a file is opened. Encryption protects data at rest. Perimeter security protects against external threats. But once a trusted user opens a file, neither stops a compromised application, an over-permitted process or an AI agent from reading or modifying it.
BestCrypt Data Shelter controls who and what can access sensitive files. By applying policy-based access control to protected folders, it prevents ransomware tampering, blocks unauthorized applications and safeguards critical data without disrupting normal workflows.

BestCrypt Data Shelter – Benefits & Advantages
BestCrypt Data Shelter helps organizations control access to sensitive files, reducing exposure to ransomware, insider threats and unauthorized use.
Protect Data the Moment It’s Accessed
Sensitive data is most vulnerable the moment a file is opened. BestCrypt Data Shelter enforces access control policies at the point of use, allowing only authorized users, applications and processes to interact with protected files.
Prevent Ransomware Tampering & Unauthorized Modifications
By restricting which applications can access protected folders, BestCrypt Data Shelter helps prevent ransomware from encrypting or modifying critical files. Unauthorized or suspicious processes are automatically blocked, reducing the risk of data loss and disruption.
Enforce Data Access Control Policies Across Endpoints
Administrators can define and apply consistent access control policies across multiple endpoints, ensuring that sensitive files are protected regardless of where they are accessed. Built on a default-deny model, blocking every access request that isn’t explicitly approved, BestCrypt Data Shelter aligns with zero-trust security principles, enforcing controls directly where data is used.
Support Immutable Backup Strategies
Control access to backup data and restrict modification rights, helping organizations enforce immutable backup practices and reduce the risk of backup corruption or ransomware impact.
Complete Endpoint Data Protection
BestCrypt Data Shelter is part of Jetico’s complete solution for endpoint data protection, combining data discovery, encryption, access control and data wiping to protect sensitive data at every stage.
Proven Protection Against Ransomware Tampering
Validated with KnowBe4 RanSim
BestCrypt Data Shelter has been tested with KnowBe4’s RanSim, demonstrating its ability to block unauthorized processes and prevent ransomware-like modification of protected files.
By controlling which applications can access sensitive data, BestCrypt Data Shelter helps stop ransomware before it can encrypt or modify critical files.
*Based on RanSim ransomware simulation testing showing zero vulnerabilities under test conditions.
