Securing Your Laptops




A Windows password can be easily bypassed by removing it using bootable software or connecting your hard drive to another computer, allowing thieves access to your files, email, passwords, and other sensitive data. Though Windows 8 certified laptops have Secure Boot to help prevent these types of attacks, it can be bypassed. Thus you should consider encrypting the entire hard drive on your laptop.

If running the Ultimate or Enterprise editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can use the
Bit Locker Drive Encryption tool to encrypt entire volumes, including the Windows volume. If you don’t have these premium editions, or are using Windows XP, you can use third-party encryption solutions. DiskCryptor is one solution that lets you encrypt existing system volumes without formatting or re installing Windows.
