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 the device is lost or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does this product help with compliance?
By encrypting sensitive data at rest, this product helps organizations meet regulatory requirements like FERPA, HIPAA, or GDPR, which mandate the protection of personal and confidential information.
Can I manage encryption for multiple devices?
Yes, the Bitdefender GravityZone console provides centralized management capabilities, allowing you to deploy encryption policies, monitor status, and generate reports for all your managed endpoints from a single dashboard.
