How to use FileVault to protect business data on Macs
If you run a business on Macs (and many companies do) then you should become familiar with FileVault, the disk encryption system that's built into macOS. When used properly, it makes it extremely hard for any malicious person to access your company’s confidential data in the event your Mac is lost or stolen.
What's the problem FileVault tries to solve?
Most businesses possess various forms of sensitive data. This might include corporate or supplier data, confidential order books, financial records, contact names and addresses, and more. That information has business value, but if compromised could also place you, your employees, or your customers at risk. In many industries, protection of such information is mandatory and legally required.
