Roxio Secure Burn
Roxio Secure Burn is a Mac utility for encrypting files and writing them to discs or USB drives for protected sharing and portable storage.
What is Roxio Secure Burn?
Roxio Secure Burn is a Mac security and disc-burning utility focused on protecting files before they are written to optical media or copied to USB storage. It helps users create password-protected discs and removable drives so shared data can be opened only with the correct password. The app fits workflows such as distributing confidential documents, archiving sensitive files, and preparing portable media for delivery to coworkers or clients. It works alongside the Roxio Toast product family and includes a reader component so recipients can unlock encrypted content on supported systems. For Mac users who still rely on discs or offline removable media, it adds encryption to a familiar drag-and-drop burn and copy process.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is legitimate file-encryption and media-burning software. It needs access to the files you choose and to connected disc or USB devices in order to create protected media, which is normal for its purpose. The main practical risk is forgetting the password used for encrypted content, because that can permanently block access to the files on the disc or drive. Store passwords carefully and test important encrypted media before relying on it for backup or delivery.
Recommendation: Keep Roxio Secure Burn if you still create encrypted discs or USB media on your Mac. If you no longer use optical burning or protected removable-media workflows, you can remove it to save space without affecting macOS itself, though you may lose access to this specific encryption-and-burning workflow.
