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-terming benefit educational institutions?
Co-terming aligns the expiration date of this encryption license with your institution's existing Bitdefender agreements. This simplifies contract management, streamlines renewals, and makes budgeting more predictable by consolidating all your Bitdefender licenses to a single renewal date.
Can this encryption solution be managed remotely?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is managed through the GravityZone cloud-based console. This allows IT administrators to deploy policies, monitor encryption status, and manage keys for all endpoints from anywhere with an internet connection.
