Encrypting the help desk system with BitLocker serves as a crucial security measure. If a laptop or device falls into unauthorized hands, the encryption ensures that data cannot be decrypted without proper authentication which enhances system security and provides a reliable recovery mechanism to safeguard sensitive information.

I use BitLocker to keep our work computers and files safe. Since we deal with sensitive data, I asked the developers to turn on BitLocker on their computers. This makes sure that our information stays private and secure.

We are primarily using the solution for all endpoints first. We are going to protect all endpoints in the organization. The endpoint is any computer with Windows 10 or Windows 11. We use the feature device encryption and file encryption, basically.

All of our hard drives are BitLocker-protected, and we use only protected USB sticks. We have no right to put unprotected USB sticks in our work notebooks, we must install password locks on the device and for notebook usage. I don't have any special knowledge or experience with such encryption, but I know that all of my hard drives are secure. We use Microsoft BitLocker for security. If I lose my work computer or it is stolen, no one will be able to read the files on my hard drive. I have a unique password.

We encrypt devices and disks that have the potential to be taken off-site, such as laptops, tablets, USB sticks, and USB disks. Basically, we encrypt any medium that has to be taken off-site. If we're giving out a USB stick to somebody, it is BitLocker encrypted. If somebody has to use a memory stick, the only way it gets out is if it is encrypted. We use the version that is native to an operating system.

BitLocker is a feature of which enables hard drive encryption. It's similar to Symantec Endpoint Encryption. For us, both go hand-in-hand, however, BitLocker has an advantage in that it stores the key in TPM.

We use the solution ncrypt any agency data . We probably have about 3,800 users on 5,000 plus computers and there are a variety of roles with some people doing data entry all the way through to system administrators. We're a statewide agency. We'll probably increase usage in another few years when we have more computers. I work as the Desktop Operations Manager in the company and we're a customer of Microsoft.

The primary use case of this solution is to encrypt all of our laptops. If they are ever lost then they are useless to anybody, unless they have the key. Our keys are stored in our Active Directory, making it impossible for anyone to decrypt what we have in our devices.

I am a solution provider in Congo and I propose products such as Microsoft BitLocker to my customers. My clients use this solution to protect their data in cases where computers are stolen. In this region, theft of computers from companies is quite common and the data that is stored needs to be protected.

Preventing data loss in stolen/lost laptops was the primary reason we went for it. It does its job adequately.

BitLocker is a full disk encryption solution that protects your data from theft, hacking, and loss. BitLocker achieves this by encrypting the entire drive that hosts your operating system and all your data. BitLocker can work on all operating systems, drives, or devices, including portable storage devices. After BitLocker completes the data encryption, it generates a recovery key. Only those with the correct encryption key will be able to decrypt and access the encrypted files and...
