If you're using a Windows zip utility for your file compression and archiving needs, you should be aware of secure alternatives now available to you. GlobalSCAPE, the maker of CuteFTP, has just released CuteZIP 2.0 making it easier than ever before to shrink and encrypt your files for secure transfer and storage. CuteZIP 2.0 enables you to protect your zip files with powerful 128-bit Twofish encryption and even create self-extracting encrypted files. Recipients can access confidential files even if they don't have a zip utility installed on their PC.
