FIPS compliant cipher suites hold the U.S. government's seal of approval, guaranteeing their suitability for federal systems. On the other hand, non-FIPS compliant cipher suites may present security vulnerabilities due to outdated cryptographic algorithms and potential lack of perfect forward secrecy. As a result, it becomes paramount to monitor TLS network traffic for non-FIPS compliant cipher suites.
BitLocker has long been the standard when it comes to disk encryption for your devices running Microsoft Windows operating systems—particularly on workstations and laptops. It’s designed to protect data by encrypting the entire disk drive on which the OS and user data are stored. This encryption ensures that even if someone physically steals or accesses your computer, they won’t be able to get to the data on the encrypted drive without the appropriate decryption key.
