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 Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption work?
It encrypts the entire contents of the hard drive, including the operating system, applications, and user files. Encryption is applied before data is written to the disk and decrypted when the authorized user logs in.
Can this encryption slow down my computer?
Bitdefender's encryption technology is designed to have minimal impact on system performance. Modern processors often include hardware acceleration for encryption, further reducing any noticeable slowdown.
