Protecting sensitive information on your device from physical theft involves several steps:
Keep physical access to your device restricted: Don’t leave your device unattended in public areas and restrict physical access to your device as much as possible.
Encrypt files: Use a reliable encryption system like BitLocker to protect private information stored on the device.
Enable secure logins: Set up two-factor authentication so that it’s more difficult to access your device if it is stolen.
Use biometrics: Access to your device should be restricted to only those that are authorized to use it. Consider using fingerprint or face recognition security measures to help protect your data.
Regularly back up your data: Make sure you are backing up important data to the cloud, an external hard drive, or other secure storage locations to help ensure that your data is not lost if the device is stolen.
