BitLocker Description

BitLocker Drive Encryption integrates with the operating systems and addresses data theft or exposure from computers that have been lost, stolen or improperly decommissioned. BitLocker offers the best protection when used in conjunction with a Trusted Platform Modul (TPM) version 1.2.2 or later. The TPM is a hardware component that is installed in many computers made by computer manufacturers. It works in conjunction with BitLocker to protect user data and ensure that the computer is not tampered with when it was offline. BitLocker can be used to encrypt the Windows operating-system drive on computers without a TPM version 1.2. To start the computer or resume hibernation, the user will need to insert a USB Startup Key. To protect the operating system volume on a computer that is not connected to a TPM, you can use an operating-system volume password starting with Windows 8.

    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.
