What you'll do

In this lab, you will manage storage encryption using Encrypting File System (EFS) and BitLocker, as well as support encrypted file transfers by using Secure Shell (SSH).

  1. Configure an EFS Recovery Agent on a Windows 10 virtual machine
  2. Encrypt files by using EFS
  3. Break a user account’s ability to access their own EFS-encrypted files
  4. Use a Data Recovery Agent (DRA) to recover access to EFS encrypted files
  5. Implement BitLocker on a Windows 10 data drive
  6. Disable BitLocker on a Windows 10 data drive
  7. Use SSH to transfer files through an encrypted communication session

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
