Frequently Asked Questions
What is Full Disk Encryption?
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is a security technology that encrypts all data stored on a computer's hard drive. This means that even if the device is physically compromised, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination work for educational clients?
Co-termination means that the license expiration date for this product is aligned with your existing Bitdefender GravityZone subscription. This simplifies renewal processes and ensures continuous coverage without managing multiple expiration dates.
Can this encryption solution be managed remotely?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is managed through the GravityZone cloud console, allowing IT administrators to deploy policies, monitor status, and manage encryption keys remotely for all protected endpoints.
