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 compromised or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does this product help with compliance in education?
By encrypting sensitive student and staff data, Full Disk Encryption helps educational institutions meet requirements set by regulations such as FERPA. It provides a strong technical control to protect personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive records.
Can I manage encryption for multiple devices from one place?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized console where IT administrators can manage encryption policies, monitor status, and generate reports for all enrolled endpoints, simplifying management for large deployments.
