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 physical device is lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-term licensing work for educational institutions?
Co-term licensing allows you to align the expiration date of this new license with your existing Bitdefender licenses. This simplifies renewal processes and makes budgeting more predictable for your institution.
Can I manage encryption for multiple devices from one place?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized management console that allows you to deploy, monitor, and manage encryption policies for all your endpoints from a single dashboard.
