Just another Linux? Not quite.

So I have been busy over the last couple of weeks looking at different distributions of Linux. Mainly because I am a geek, but also because I like to recommend them to people who have devices that are not capable of running Windows 11 – but not ready for the land fill just yet.

Do you have sensitive data on your Laptop?

Do you secure it with encryption?

A stolen laptop can easily be broken into, without encryption your data can be stolen.

So encryption sounds like a good thing eh?

Well it is, until you lose your encryption key or forget the password.

Managed devices can help with this, bitlocker keys can be stored off-site and recoverable by your IT Support team.

Other Encryption products can also do this.

Ask me why managed IT, and device encryption are so important in today's digital world.
