What This Solves
Enable secure data handling for student information
Enable teams to protect sensitive student records, grades, and personal information stored on laptops and desktops. This ensures compliance with FERPA and other data privacy mandates by making data unreadable if a device is compromised.
laptop fleets, desktop workstations, BYOD programs, cloud-connected endpoints
Safeguard research data and intellectual property
Streamline the protection of valuable research data, proprietary algorithms, and intellectual property developed by faculty and students. Full disk encryption prevents unauthorized access to this critical information, even if devices are lost or stolen off-campus.
research labs, university departments, remote work initiatives, secure data environments
Automate endpoint data security for compliance
Automate the process of encrypting all data on endpoint devices to meet regulatory compliance requirements. This reduces the manual effort and risk associated with ensuring data privacy across a large number of devices.
managed device environments, BYOD policies, remote workforce, compliance-driven IT
