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 stolen or accessed without authorization, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination licensing benefit educational institutions?
Co-termination licensing aligns all software licenses to a single expiration date. For educational institutions, this simplifies renewal processes, improves budget predictability, and streamlines IT asset management.
Can this encryption be managed remotely?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized console that allows IT administrators to manage encryption policies, monitor status, and enforce security across all enrolled endpoints, regardless of their physical location.
