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 lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-term licensing benefit educational institutions?
Co-term licensing allows all licenses to expire on the same date, simplifying renewals and budget planning. This is particularly useful for educational institutions that operate on a fixed fiscal year.
Can this encryption solution be managed remotely?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized console that allows IT administrators to deploy, manage, and monitor encryption policies remotely across all enrolled endpoints.
