I've done a full disk encryption with BitLocker and TrueCrypt on my laptop and desktop, respectively. If I just put my laptop on standby waiting / when I leave, I realize that I'm alone I asked for Windows (Vista) password when I wake up. Does this mean that if someone steals my laptop while within sleep mode, the disk encryption will not facilitate? It seems to recommend that "give the Prompt for password when computer resumes from sleep setting is sufficient to mitigate risk. So I'm confused. What if I hibernation? Is that enough?
