Frequently Asked Questions
What is Full Disk Encryption?
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is a security measure that encrypts all data stored on a computer's hard drive. This means that even if the device is physically compromised, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption help with compliance?
By encrypting sensitive data at rest, this solution helps organizations meet data privacy regulations like FERPA and GDPR, which mandate the protection of personal and educational information.
Is this a cloud-based or on-premises solution?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is a cloud-based SaaS solution, managed through the GravityZone console. This eliminates the need for on-premises server infrastructure for managing the encryption service.
