Enabling BitLocker to prevent data theft

BitLocker encryption is a common technology that's used for encrypting data on disk drives. It is an effective way to help protect data if a device is stolen or the hard drive is removed as a recovery key is required to gain access. Historically, BitLocker was deployed and managed through Group Policy using the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) tool, which is part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). Microsoft has announced that MBAM development ended in 2019 and that its services will be deprecated in 2024. They strongly recommended using Azure AD and Intune to deploy and manage BitLocker drive encryption as soon as possible. If you're planning a deployment of BitLocker, visit the official Microsoft docs to read the deployment guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/bitlocker/bitlocker-basic-deployment.
