Understanding BitLocker Functionality

The video tutorial covers two types of encryption, focusing on BitLocker, which encrypts entire hard drives to prevent unauthorized access if a drive is stolen. It demonstrates how to enable BitLocker on a device, including setting up a password and backing up the recovery key. The tutorial explains the options for encrypting the whole drive or just the used space and highlights the requirements for BitLocker, such as having a TPM or adjusting Group Policy settings. It also provides guidance on configuring BitLocker through the Local Group Policy Editor and emphasizes the key points to remember for an exam.
