disk encryption
Storage data ciphering
Disk encryption is a security technology that scrambles all data on a storage device, making it unreadable without the correct password or key.
Full disk encryption protects everything on a drive automatically, while file-level encryption targets specific items.
If a laptop with disk encryption is stolen, the thief cannot access the data without the decryption credentials.
