I am involved in a lot of work involving confidential information. So, it keeps unauthorized individuals away from my computer.

BitLocker provides the common person with great security to guard against most threats consisting of efforts by unauthorized people who try to gain access to the computer by not allowing it to boot up absent a password.

It basically brings us in compliance. We are required to encrypt the handling of data, the transmission of the data, and storage of the data. So, when people are working with the data, and they download it to the laptops, we can safely say it is encrypted at that point to meet our requirements. It is pretty transparent to the end-user since the encryption is done without them really doing it.

Our need was to protect our portable devices. So, our thumb drives get automatically encrypted. Any attached storage gets automatically encrypted for our laptops in case they get lost or stolen when people travel.

The product helps us to encrypt local devices. It allows us to protect devices against theft and unauthorized access.

The tool has improved the startup of our notebooks and end-user devices. 

I delivered three projects where the business does not have any encryption mechanism in place if the company or an employee lost any of the device, there are chances someone could view sensitive data. After the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) implementation, in such cases, any unauthorised person will not be able to access the data.

If you already have older version of MBAM in place, there is an option to move existing keys over to new server which is great.

Before BitLocker we used the DELL disk protection through the BIOS. This protection is not very efficient and the user needs a PIN to unlock the computer. With BitLocker I guarantee the protection of the disk and the configuration is transparent to the user.

Protects employee and enterprise data in case of loss of a laptop. Fills in part of an enterprise-wide security strategy.

Whole disk encryption was what was required from us. Microsoft BitLocker has executed it with minimal effort.
