Security issue in Boot Camp

"Whenever you install Bootcamp on your device, you are splitting the hard drive into two separate partitions. One partition runs Windows, and the other runs Mac OS. Since Mac OS is native to the device (given that it is a MacBook), the only partition that is available to encrypt is Mac OS.

This is patently incorrect.

Please educate your University IT department about Bitlocker.

This presents itself as a security issue as it leaves the universities infrastructure vulnerable."

The IT Security needs a refresher course in available on-disk technologies. You may also want them to learn about Virtualization.

My apologies for calling Corporate IT as University IT. 😉

If you need your Corporate IT person(s) to read this and ask any further questions, they are more than welcome.
