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 lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption help with compliance?
By encrypting all data at rest on endpoints, this solution helps organizations meet regulatory requirements such as FERPA, HIPAA, GDPR, and others that mandate the protection of sensitive personal and institutional information.
Can I manage encryption for multiple devices from one place?
Yes, the Bitdefender GravityZone console provides centralized management capabilities, allowing you to deploy encryption policies, track status, and manage keys for all your protected endpoints from a single dashboard.
