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 inaccessible to anyone without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination simplify licensing for schools?
Co-termination aligns all your Bitdefender encryption licenses to a single expiration date. This significantly simplifies the renewal process, making budgeting and procurement more predictable and efficient for educational institutions.
Does this encryption slow down computers?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed for minimal performance impact. Modern hardware acceleration ensures that encryption and decryption processes have a negligible effect on everyday computer use, preserving user productivity.
