Why Encrypt Your Computer & Hard Drives 🔒

About this video

Ahhh, the joys of having some of your personal belongings stolen from your checked bags during travel. Am I right? Upon returning home after spending nearly three weeks in Cuba, I realized that my backup travel drive containing all of my photos from the trip was stolen from my checked bag. Fortunately, I had two other backups on me, so nothing was lost. However, whoever has the drive also has access to all of the contents on it. Had I encrypted the drive beforehand, the perp would need a password or recovery key to decrypt and access the data.

That's why I put this video together. I want to walk you through how to encrypt your hard drives and computers using a Mac or Windows. There's no reason why you shouldn't encrypt your drives, so check it out!
