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 compromised, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-terming work for educational licenses?
Co-terming aligns the expiration date of your new Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption license with your existing Bitdefender educational contract. This simplifies renewal processes and ensures continuous coverage.
Can I manage encryption for remote users?
Yes, the Bitdefender GravityZone console allows for centralized management of encryption policies and status monitoring for endpoints, regardless of their physical location.
