BitLocker Description
BitLocker Drive Encryption serves as a crucial data security feature, seamlessly integrated into the operating system, designed to combat risks associated with data theft or exposure due to lost, stolen, or improperly retired computers. The most robust protection is achieved when BitLocker is paired with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 or higher, a hardware element that many modern computers come equipped with. This TPM collaborates with BitLocker to safeguard user data and verify that the computer remains untampered while offline. For machines lacking a TPM version 1.2 or more advanced, BitLocker can still encrypt the Windows operating system drive, but this setup necessitates the user to utilize a USB startup key to power on the computer or wake it from hibernation. Since the introduction of Windows 8, users can also opt for an operating system volume password to secure the operating system volume on computers without a TPM. This additional flexibility enhances usability while maintaining security standards.

BitLocker is used in my Organization Date: Sep 17 2021
Summary: Overall this seems to give me a sense of security with my laptop as I work from home a lot so it is in transit and in multiple places. It's easy to change my PIN when I need to so that is a plus.
Positive: BitLocker is easy to use and I'm assuming that it is securing my laptop from unwanted log ins. So far I have not lost track of my computer but if I do I feel that someone won't be able to access my file.
Negative: I don't like the fact that it times out on the reboot. If I reboot my computer and walk away for too long I have to power it back up.
