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 cannot be accessed without the correct decryption key or password.
How does this help educational institutions with compliance?
Educational institutions handle a lot of sensitive student and staff data, which is protected by regulations like FERPA and GDPR. FDE ensures this data at rest is unreadable to unauthorized parties, directly supporting compliance efforts and preventing data breach penalties.
Can I manage encryption for all my school's computers from one place?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized console where IT administrators can deploy, manage, and monitor encryption policies across all enrolled endpoints within the institution.
