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 device is lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable to anyone without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-term licensing benefit educational institutions?
Co-term licensing allows an organization to align the expiration dates of all its software licenses to a single date. For educational institutions, this simplifies license management, renewal processes, and budgeting, reducing administrative overhead.
Does this encryption slow down my computer?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed for minimal performance impact. Modern hardware acceleration ensures that encryption and decryption processes have little to no noticeable effect on daily computer operations.
