Encrypt Your Data, Update Your Defenses,

BitLocker for Microsoft Windows

Use this tool to encrypt your Microsoft Windows systems.

Encryption is the process whereby data is converted from a readable form (i.e., plaintext), to an encoded form (i.e., ciphertext). This encoding is designed to be unintelligible except by parties that possess a key to reverse the encoding process. Encryption allows for the confidential storage and transmission of data, as well as proof that it originated with the person who claims to have sent it. The BitLocker tool is a data protection feature that encrypts drives on your Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019 to help prevent data theft or exposure.
