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 accessed without authorization, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination benefit educational institutions?
Co-termination aligns all your Bitdefender subscriptions to a single renewal date. This simplifies budgeting, streamlines procurement, and reduces administrative overhead for educational institutions managing multiple software licenses.
Does this encryption slow down my computers?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed for optimal performance. While encryption processes do consume some resources, the impact on everyday computer use is minimal and generally unnoticeable to end-users.
