Security commentators are reminding laptop and phone users that full-disk encryption protects data on lost or stolen devices, but only if set up properly. Advice circulating includes checking your device's documentation first, storing the recovery key separately, testing backups, and using a strong device passphrase. Users are also warned that encryption is just one layer of protection and is no substitute for regular software updates, backups, and screen locks.
