Frequently Asked Questions
What is co-termination licensing?
Co-termination licensing means all your software licenses renew on a single, unified date. This simplifies contract management, budgeting, and ensures consistent coverage across your organization.
How does full disk encryption protect my data?
Full disk encryption scrambles all data on your hard drive. Without the correct password or decryption key, the data is unreadable, effectively protecting it from unauthorized access if a device is lost, stolen, or improperly disposed of.
Is this solution suitable for K-12 schools and universities?
Yes, this solution is specifically designed with co-term licensing for educational institutions, making it ideal for managing encryption across large numbers of devices and ensuring compliance with student data privacy regulations.
