Ten years ago, data encryption was niche, available only to those with the technical skills to set it up and implement. Recently, this has changed, with encryption available in the shape of native operating features on phones and desktop computers.
Android, iPhone, Mac OS X, Windows, Windows Phone and Linux users can all encrypt their device storage, either completely or in part (USB drives can also be encrypted). Should these devices be lost or stolen, they will not divulge any data stored on an encrypted partition.
Use these basic but oft-forgotten tips to maintain the security of your hardware and data. If you have any you would like to add to the list, tell me about it in the comments.
