Disk Encryption

Disk encryption is a security method that protects the data stored on a computer's hard drive by converting it into a code that only authorized users can access. Think of it as locking the entire drive with a digital lock, so if someone else tries to access the data without the key, they see only gibberish. This helps prevent unauthorized access if the device is lost or stolen, ensuring sensitive information remains confidential. When you log in with your password, the encryption unlocks, allowing you to view and use your files normally.
