Windows 7 : BitLocker To Go !!

  • Artikkeli

image How do you secure your business critical information when it is stored on a USB Drive? Research suggests that more sensitive information is lost on these devices than in any other way.  Fortunately there’s a new Windows 7 feature that might just save your embarrassment, if you misplace a USB drive with sensitive information on it. 

BitLocker To Go is an easy to use encryption technology that will allow you to encrypt the contents of a USB stick or drive and prevent prying eyes from looking at your data.  Considering the number of recent horror stories this could be really important for your company.

To see a simple demo of this, watch Keith Combs screen cast on EDGE.

    It is unfortunate that Microsoft has restricted the capability to write to such a "Bitlocker To Go" encrypted device to only 7 Ultimate and Enterprise. I as a personal user (and am sure many others) would be willing to upgrade to Ultimate to be able to create an encrypted USB stick, but the fact that I wouldn't be able to write to it on any other standard Windows machine would completely put me off even using this feature in the first place.
