Encrypting File System (EFS) is a feature in Microsoft Windows that allows users to encrypt individual files and folders on NTFS file systems. This protects data confidentiality by converting the file data into a format that only the authorized users can read. Encrypting data at the file level helps in securing sensitive information stored on the computer.
