PC World posted a news story that Microsoft's full-disk encryption feature is not being widely used even where it is part of the Windows operating system, according to a new survey
Microsoft added its BitLocker hard-disk encryption feature to the "ultimate" and "enterprise" versions of its Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, in response to greater concern over data losses and breaches. It is also present in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Security companies have also taken an interest in full hard-disk encryption by making acquisitions, including Symantec's purchase of PGP and GuardianEdge, Sophos' purchase of Utimaco and McAfee's acquisition of SafeBoot.
