You need a security solution that protects the entire hard drive, preventing access even when moved to another system. Which solution would you choose?

TrueCrypt
FileVault
BitLocker
Disk Encryption Software

The correct answer is: BitLocker

Choosing BitLocker as the security solution is appropriate because it provides full disk encryption for Windows operating systems at the hardware level, effectively protecting the data on the entire hard drive. This means that even if the hard drive is removed and installed in another system, the data remains inaccessible without proper authentication. BitLocker integrates seamlessly with the operating system, leveraging TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to enhance security and ensure that the system has not been tampered with. In contrast, TrueCrypt has been discontinued and is outdated, posing security risks. FileVault is specific to macOS and would not apply to a Windows environment, limiting its use to Mac systems. Disk Encryption Software is a broader term that could encompass various solutions but does not specify a particular tool that guarantees the same level of integration and security provided by BitLocker. Overall, BitLocker is specifically designed for the comprehensive protection you're seeking when securing the entire hard drive against unauthorized access.
