Cryptomator is open source software that can be installed to a device in order to encrypt data before it is synced across a commercial cloud or external network. Being open source the code is open to inspection so we can be sure it has no backdoors or malware embedded into it.
In a time where mass data collection is becoming the norm. Corporations are actively scanning cloud services to profile users to target them for advertisements. Hackers are gaining access to big corporations network and data for profit and malice. It is vitally important that internet users start to take responsibility for their data security.
Encryption brings an extra layer of security. Most hackers will be looking unsecured data so it makes it even more unlikely that if you use encryption they would attempt to crack it. Most likely Hackers will move on to the next easier victim.
In the past Encryption applications have been notoriously complicated however this is changing fast. Cryptomator is one of the new generations of user friendly encryption clients that your gran can use (well almost).
With big companies like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp introducing encryption on by default. We are as a community moving in the right direction.
