Jetico Brings Home Users a More Accessible Solution to Wipe Files
The Standard Version of BCWipe Will Now Be Known as BCWipe – Home
BCWipe is switching to BCWipe – Home in March 2023. From that date forwards, users of the standard version of BCWipe will instead have access to BCWipe – Home. Below, we’ll take a look at the features of the software.
Please note that BCWipe – Enterprise will be unaffected by these changes.
What Will This Mean for BCWipe Users?
As is implied in the name, BCWipe – Home is tailored towards home users of Jetico’s BCWipe software. This rebranding of BCWipe will provide home users with a more accessible version of our solution for wiping files beyond forensic recovery, with the new version of the software being more streamlined and easier to navigate. Moving forward, more features will be added to further improve the experience for home users.
BCWipe – Home will feature new customized wiping schemes for both hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs), making it easier for users to locate the wiping schemes they need.
BCWipe – Home will also include BCWipe Privacy Guard, Jetico’s tool for protecting users from Windows 10 and 11’s default tracking settings. Not only can BCWipe Privacy Guard be utilized to disable Microsoft’s tracking settings in one click, users can also apply Jetico’s recommended settings to optimize their privacy setup.
