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 a device is lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination licensing work for education?
Co-termination licensing allows educational institutions to align the expiration dates of all their Bitdefender licenses to a single date. This simplifies budget planning and renewal processes, making license management more efficient.
Does this encryption slow down my computer?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed to minimize performance impact. Modern hardware encryption capabilities are often utilized, meaning most users will not notice a significant difference in day-to-day operations.
