Frequently Asked Questions
What is Full Disk Encryption?
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is a security measure that encrypts all data stored on a device'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 all your licenses expire on the same date, typically aligned with the end of your academic fiscal year. This simplifies renewal processes and budget planning for your institution.
Does this encryption slow down my devices?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed for minimal performance impact. While there might be a slight overhead during initial encryption or heavy disk activity, day-to-day usage is generally unaffected.
