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 physically accessed or stolen, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination benefit educational institutions?
Co-termination allows educational institutions to align the renewal dates of multiple software licenses to a single date. This simplifies budget planning, procurement, and administrative management, making it easier to manage IT expenses within academic fiscal years.
