Encrypting Files: Security with Windows 11 and Microsoft 365

In an age where digital security is increasingly important, it is essential to properly secure files. With Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Enterprise, Microsoft offers a powerful solution: Microsoft BitLocker. This technology helps encrypt files, significantly reducing the chances of data theft and unauthorized access. This is especially important for users who regularly sync emails and files on their devices to ensure offline availability. 🌐🔒

What is Microsoft BitLocker?

Microsoft BitLocker is a built-in security feature that encrypts data on hard drives and removable storage media. This allows files to be accessed only with proper authorization, even if the device is lost or stolen. Some advantages of BitLocker include:

• Full disk encryption: Protects all data on the hard disk.
• Transparent user experience: encryption works in the background without affecting performance.
• Protection against physical theft: Data remains protected even if the hard drive is physically removed.
