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-termination licensing benefit educational institutions?
Co-termination licensing allows all licenses for a product within an organization to have the same expiration date. For educational institutions, this typically aligns with the academic or fiscal year, simplifying renewal processes and budget planning.
Can I manage encryption for all my devices from one place?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized management console that allows IT administrators to deploy, monitor, and manage encryption policies for all protected endpoints from a single dashboard.
