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 physical device is lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-term licensing work for educational institutions?
Co-term licensing means all your licenses share the same expiration date, typically aligned with your institution's fiscal or academic year. This simplifies renewal processes and ensures consistent coverage across your environment.
What is the impact of Full Disk Encryption on device performance?
Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption is designed to have minimal impact on endpoint performance. Modern processors have hardware acceleration for encryption, so users typically do not notice a difference in speed during everyday tasks.
