Our Drive Encryption Administration course provides an in-depth introduction to the tasks crucial to set up and administer Drive Encryption. Drive Encryption is full disk encryption software that helps protect data on Microsoft Windows tablets, laptops, and desktop PCs to prevent the loss of sensitive data, especially from lost or stolen equipment.
