BitLocker
Noun | /ˈbɪtˌlɒkər/
A full-disk encryption feature included in certain editions of Microsoft Windows, designed to protect data by encrypting entire volumes (e.g., hard drives or removable storage). BitLocker uses algorithms like AES to secure files, requiring authentication (e.g., password, PIN, or USB key) to decrypt and access data. It helps prevent unauthorized access in cases of device theft or loss.
Common Use:
“Enable BitLocker to safeguard sensitive files if your laptop is stolen.”
