Encryption Strategies

You can use Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt data on your hard disk. For example, because portable computers are high-risk items for theft, you can use EFS to enhance security by encrypting data on the hard disks of your company's portable computers. This precaution protects data and authentication information against unauthorized access.

Before implementing EFS, it is important to understand the proper backup structure for EFS keys and to know how to restore them.
