BitLocker is a full-disk encryption feature included with Microsoft Windows that protects data by encrypting entire volumes. It helps prevent unauthorized access to data on lost or stolen devices by requiring authentication before the operating system loads.
About Bitlocker (Microsoft)
BitLocker was introduced by Microsoft in 2006 with the release of Windows Vista. It was developed to enhance data protection and address growing concerns about data security on stolen or lost devices. The feature aimed to provide robust encryption to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Strengths of BitLocker include seamless integration with Windows, strong encryption standards, and ease of use for end-users. Weaknesses involve limited cross-platform compatibility and reliance on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for optimal security. Competitors include VeraCrypt, Symantec Endpoint Encryption, and McAfee Complete Data Protection.
