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 physically stolen or lost, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption help educational institutions?
It helps educational institutions protect sensitive student, faculty, and administrative data from unauthorized access. This is crucial for maintaining compliance with privacy regulations like FERPA and preventing data breaches.
Is this a cloud-based or on-premises solution?
Bitdefender GravityZone is a cloud-based platform, meaning the management console is accessed via the internet. The encryption software is installed on the endpoints themselves.
