Managing BitLocker with PowerShell
Babylonian Letters
Conclusions
Encrypting drives significantly reduces the vulnerability of a Windows system, especially on mobile devices. Because BitLocker is an integral part of the professional versions of Windows 10 – and likewise with Windows 11, as well – it is a good choice for encrypting both drives built into computers and external storage media such as USB sticks. Microsoft offers many ways to automate the configuration and monitoring of drive encryption by scripts with a series of PowerShell cmdlets and additional command-line programs.
