Frequently Asked Questions
What is Full Disk Encryption?
Full Disk Encryption is a security technology that encrypts all data stored on a computer's hard drive. This means that even if the device is physically accessed by an unauthorized person, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination benefit educational institutions?
Co-termination aligns the renewal dates of all your Bitdefender licenses to a single date. This simplifies procurement, budgeting, and administrative overhead for IT departments in educational settings.
Does this encryption slow down my devices?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed to have minimal impact on system performance. Modern processors often include hardware acceleration for encryption, further reducing any noticeable slowdown.
