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 physical device is stolen or lost, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-term licensing work?
Co-term licensing means that the expiration date of this new license is aligned with the expiration date of your existing Bitdefender GravityZone licenses. This simplifies contract renewals and management by having a single renewal date for multiple products.
Is this product suitable for K-12 schools?
Yes, this product is specifically designed with educational institutions in mind, including K-12 schools. It helps protect sensitive student data and comply with regulations like FERPA.
