Disk encryption is supposed to be your "last line of defence." If your laptop goes missing, the idea is simple: the data stays locked, even if the device is in the wrong hands. But that protection can get messy when encryption is paired with third-party components that sit before Windows even boots. That's the core concern behind two recently highlighted vulnerabilities involving CryptoPro Secure Disk (CPSD), a product designed to work alongside BitLocker by adding extra controls like pre-boot authentication.

A Big Shock for Windows Security - For years, Microsoft's BitLocker encryption has been seen as one of the strongest built-in protections against data theft. Whether on a corporate laptop or a personal device, BitLocker promised that even if someone stole your computer, your files would remain locked away behind layers of encryption.
