Our school has a remote file server (Windows 2022 virtual server on a colo) that provides network shared drives. We have both Windows and MacOS clients accessing it through SMB.
Recently our IT Sub-committee recommended me enable Bitlocker on these shared volumes.
First question regarding SMB encryption: Microsoft has the following on SMB encryption. My understanding is this is for the encryption on the connection between client machine and server. Correct? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/smb-security
Second question regarding Bitlocker: I don't quite seem to be able to find related topic on Bitlocker on shared network drive. Can Bitlocker be applied to network shared volumes?
Thanks much in advance!
I would like to enhance the security on our file sharing plus the data on the file server.
