Joe Kissell explains one of the most under-used, under-appreciated security measures you can take with your Mac in Take Control of FileVault. With the flick of a virtual switch, your data can be safer. So why don’t more people do it? Because they are scared. Joe tells us why there is nothing to fear, just how secure our data is, and then serves up a taste of some of the more advanced parts of FileVault that he bets you didn’t know about.
