Hi Guys,
We have been asked by many of our users for advice on how to encrypt the data on their devices. Encryption is easy to setup on most devices and it adds a serious layer of security so if you have not already turned on encryption please do so as soon as possible.
Follow the steps below for encrypting your devices:
How to encrypt your Mac
- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > FileVault.
- Click “Turn On FileVault”
- Follow the instructions
- Wait for encryption to complete
How to encrypt your Windows computer
- Go to Control Panel > BitLocker Drive Encryption.
- Click “Turn on BitLocker” next to the drive you want to encrypt.
- Enter a strong alphanumeric password or passphrase.
- Follow the instructions
- Wait for encryption to complete
How to encrypt your iPhone
- Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode.
- Press “Turn Passcode On”
- Your device is automatically encrypted when you use a passcode.
How to encrypt your Android device
- Plug in the device to charge the battery (required).
- Make sure a password or PIN is set in Security > Screen lock.
- Go to Settings > Security.
- Press the “Encrypt phone” option.
- Press “Encrypt phone” again to start the encryption process.
- Remember to keep the phone plugged in until complete.
And that is it. Very easy to do for all devices and 100% worth your time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks and talk soon,
Max Roberts.
