Looking for the Jetico Personal Firewall Download?
In April 2016, Jetico announced that Jetico Personal Firewall would become free as we shifted our research and development efforts toward data wiping and encryption, the areas where Jetico offers the strongest expertise.
Since then, operating systems and threats have evolved. With Windows offering built-in network protection and attacks increasingly targeting files, many challenges now require protection at the file level, not just the network level.
This led to a natural evolution: moving the core idea of “firewall-style control” from the network level to the file level.

Is a Firewall Still Included in Jetico Software?
Not in the traditional sense, but the same protection logic still lives on.
Our modern solution, BestCrypt Data Shelter, works like a firewall for your files.
While Jetico Personal Firewall monitored network traffic, Data Shelter monitors file access: controlling who or what can reach your sensitive data.
BestCrypt Data Shelter protects against ransomware, spyware and unauthorized applications, keeping your files safe even when unfamiliar software attempts to access them. This solution continues the same Jetico philosophy of transparency and control, adapted to today’s threats and modern Windows systems.
Best of all, Data Shelter is free to use.
