Windows Filtering Platform

The Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) architecture in Windows 7 helps software companies create fi rewalls, antivirus software, and other types of applications and services that work with Windows. For example, third-party developers can use the WFP to create a product that selectively turns parts of the Windows Firewall on or off, which allows you to choose which software fi rewall you want to use and have it coexist with Windows Firewall. As a result, you’ll have a wide range of choices for security software, yet know that they will work with your PC running Windows 7.

BitLocker

Each year, hundreds of thousands of PCs are retired, lost, or stolen. BitLocker, which was fi rst introduced in Windows Vista, gives you a way to encrypt your hard disk drive to better protect data in case your laptop is stolen or lost. In Windows 7, we’ve improved BitLocker in many ways. For instance, you can now right-click a drive to enable BitLocker protection. In addition, you no longer need to repartition your hard disk drive, because BitLocker automatically creates the neces- sary hidden boot partition. It’s also easier to recover your data with Data Recovery Agent (DRA) support for all protected volumes.

BitLocker To Go

BitLocker helps you protect

the data on your PC.

There are numerous ways you can lose your data without losing your PC, especially if you use USB fl ash drives and other personal storage devices. For example, you might want to take your household budget to a meeting with your fi nancial advisor or transport some

work to a PC in your home using a removable storage device. BitLocker To Go extends support for BitLocker drive encryption to USB removable storage devices, such as fl ash memory drives and portable hard disk drives, helping protect the data on those devices if they’re lost or stolen. When you use BitLocker to Go, your data will be protected with a password, helping to ensure that only authorized people can access it. In addition, you can view the information on a device using BitLocker To Go with a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista.
