Thaks McKnife, that's a really helpful answer!<br />
<br />
I guess when I refer to other measures, I mean emails (Office 365) and removable devices. Are there any measures you can suggest for these?

Hi,<br />
We would like to introduce encryption across our clients PC's/server by default.<br />
I was wondering:<br />
Are there any downsides to this?<br />
Is using bitlocker with TPM enabled devices good enough?<br />
Are there any other 'encryption' based measures that I can take?<br />
Is using bitlocker for Windows Server (2012 and above) recommended?<br />
Thanks!

Encryption of windows 10 pc's and Server 2012 (onwards) servers

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
