Frequently Asked Questions
What is Full Disk Encryption?
Full Disk Encryption is a security measure 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 without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-term licensing work for educational institutions?
Co-term licensing means that all your Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption licenses for your educational institution will have the same expiration date. This simplifies procurement, budgeting, and renewal processes.
Does this encryption slow down my computer?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed to minimize impact on system performance. While there may be a slight overhead during encryption and decryption processes, it is generally imperceptible during normal daily use.
