Full disk encryption
Full disk encryption (FDE) is the most effective control for protecting data on client devices like laptops in case they are lost or stolen. FDE encrypts the entire storage drive, including the operating system, applications, and data files, making the information inaccessible without the proper decryption key. Even if an attacker has physical possession of the laptop, they cannot access the encrypted data without the authentication credentials. This provides strong protection against unauthorized access to sensitive information stored on mobile devices that may be lost or stolen.
