BitLocker: About BitLocker Drive Encryption is a data protection feature that integrates with the operating system and addresses the threats of data theft or exposure from lost, stolen, or inappropriately decommissioned computers. BitLocker provides the most protection when used with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 or later. The TPM is a hardware component installed in many newer computers by the computer manufacturers. It works with BitLocker to help protect user data and to ensure that a computer has not been tampered with while the system was offline. On computers that do not have a TPM version 1.2 or later, you can still use BitLocker to encrypt the Windows operating system drive. However, this implementation will require the user to insert a USB startup key to start the computer or resume from hibernation. Starting with Windows 8, you can use an operating system volume password to protect the operating system volume on a computer without TPM.	Cryptomator: About Put a lock on your cloud. With Cryptomator, the key to your data is in your hands. Cryptomator encrypts your data quickly and easily. Afterwards you upload them protected to your favorite cloud service. Take the security of your data into your own hands. Cryptomator is a simple tool for digital self-defense. It allows you to protect your cloud data by yourself and independently. Most cloud providers encrypt data only during transmission or they keep the keys for decryption for themselves. These keys can be stolen, copied, or misused. Thanks to Cryptomator, only you have the key to your data in your hand. Cryptomator allows you to access your files from all your devices. It's easy to use and integrates seamlessly between your data and the cloud. Cryptomator's technology meets the latest standards and encrypts both files and filenames with AES and 256 bit key length. To start with Cryptomator, you assign a password for a folder - we call it a vault - within your cloud. That is all.

BitLocker: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros BitLocker is easy to use and I'm assuming that it is securing my laptop from unwanted log ins. So far I have not lost track of my computer but if I do I feel that someone won't be able to access my file. Cons I don't like the fact that it times out on the reboot. If I reboot my computer and walk away for too long I have to power it back up.
