Frequently Asked Questions
What is Full Disk Encryption?
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is a security measure that encrypts all data stored on a computer's hard drive. This means that even if the device is physically accessed by an unauthorized person, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination licensing benefit educational institutions?
Co-termination licensing allows educational institutions to align the expiration dates of their Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption licenses with their existing Bitdefender agreements. This simplifies renewal processes, reduces administrative overhead, and can lead to more predictable budgeting.
Can this encryption be managed remotely?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is managed through the GravityZone console, which allows IT administrators to deploy encryption policies, monitor status, and manage keys remotely for all enrolled endpoints.
