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 compromised, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or user authentication.
How does Bitdefender GravityZone Full Disk Encryption help with compliance?
By ensuring all sensitive data on endpoints is encrypted, this solution helps organizations meet the requirements of data privacy regulations such as FERPA and GDPR, which mandate the protection of personal and sensitive information.
Can I manage encryption for multiple devices from one place?
Yes, the Bitdefender GravityZone platform provides a centralized console that allows IT administrators to deploy, manage, and monitor encryption policies for all protected endpoints within the institution.
