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 device is physically stolen or lost, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination licensing work for educational institutions?
Co-termination licensing allows an educational institution to align the expiration date of new Bitdefender licenses with their existing Bitdefender agreement. This simplifies renewal processes and can offer more predictable budgeting.
Does this encryption slow down my computer?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed to have minimal impact on endpoint performance. Modern processors often include hardware acceleration for encryption, further reducing any noticeable slowdown.
