# Apply disk encryption in Azure Security Center
19
-
Azure Security Center recommends that you apply disk encryption if you have Windows or Linux VM disks that are not encrypted using Azure Disk Encryption. Disk Encryption lets you encrypt your Windows and Linux IaaS VM disks. Encryption is recommended for both the OS and data volumes on your VM.

Azure Security Center recommends that you use Azure Disk Encryption on unencrypted disks on both Windows and Linux VM. Disk Encryption lets you encrypt your Windows and Linux IaaS VM disks. Encryption is recommended for both the OS and data volumes on your VM.

Disk Encryption uses the industry standard [BitLocker](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc732774.aspx) feature of Windows and the [DM-Crypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-crypt) feature of Linux. These features provide OS and data encryption to help protect and safeguard your data and meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. Disk Encryption is integrated with [Azure Key Vault](https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/services/key-vault/) to help you control and manage the disk encryption keys and secrets in your Key Vault subscription, while ensuring that all data in the VM disks are encrypted at rest in your [Azure Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/services/storage/).

> Azure Disk Encryption is supported on the following Windows server operating systems - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2. Disk encryption is supported on the following Linux server operating systems - Ubuntu, CentOS, SUSE, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).

37
36
* Install and configure Azure PowerShell. This enables you to run the PowerShell commands required to set up the prerequisites required to encrypt Azure Virtual Machines.
38
37
* Obtain and run the Azure Disk Encryption Prerequisites Azure PowerShell script.

There are many approaches that can be used for Azure Virtual Machines. If you are already well-versed in Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI, then you may prefer to use alternate approaches. To learn about these other approaches, see [Azure disk encryption](../security/fundamentals/encryption-overview.md).
