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 benefit educational institutions?
Co-term licensing allows all your Bitdefender licenses to renew on the same date. This simplifies your procurement process, makes budgeting more predictable, and reduces administrative effort throughout the year.
Can I manage encryption for all my school's devices from one place?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized management console. This allows your IT team to deploy encryption policies, monitor device status, and manage user access for all your endpoints from a single dashboard.
