Disc encryption

Disk encryption is a process that protects the data stored on a computer's hard drive by converting it into a code that can't be read without a special key or password. Think of it like locking your data behind a digital lock; only someone with the right key can unlock and access the information. This helps keep sensitive data safe from unauthorized access, especially if the device is lost or stolen. When you unlock the computer with your password, the data is decrypted so you can use it normally.
