Secure Your WD Drives with WD Security

WD Security is a free application for Mac users aimed at enhancing the security of Western Digital external hard drives. The software provides robust password protection and utilizes 256-bit AES hardware encryption to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access. It is compatible with a variety of WD portable drives, making it a versatile choice for users looking to protect their personal or professional information, especially during transport.

The setup process is straightforward, guided by a wizard that allows users to create a custom password for their drives. Once the password is set, the contents of the drive remain inaccessible from any computer until the correct password is entered. Additionally, users can register their Mac as a trusted device for easier access, balancing security with convenience.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
