Microsoft OneDrive Gets a New Encrypted 'Personal Vault'

[silversurfer]

Due to the ever increasing growth of online threats that target your sensitive data, Microsoft has created a new OneDrive feature called 'Personal Vault' that will allow you encrypt and store your files in a secured container.
 
Personal Vault is a separate storage space in OneDrive that will automatically encrypt stored files and can only be accessed through an authentication method such as 2FA, fingerprint, face, PIN, or codes via email and SMS. This allows the files stored in the Personal Vault to be more secure in the event that someone gains access to your computer, mobile device, or OneDrive account or you become infected.
 
"Personal Vault adds to the robust privacy and security that OneDrive currently offers, including file encryption at rest and in transit, suspicious activity monitoring, ransomware detection and recovery, mass file deletion notification and recovery, virus scanning on download for known threats, and version history for all file types," stated Microsoft's announcement.
 
Microsoft will be making this feature available on both the desktop and mobile versions of OneDrive so that you can have access to your secure files from where ever you are.
