Default How Safe is the Excel Password functionality?

I have noticed a lot of tools on the web that claim to be able to "crack"
passwords to excel and other office tools. Parts of the system that I help to
develop depends on excel file passwords to protect sensitive information and
code. What's the nature of the vulnerability? Has anyone found a work around
yet?
