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 physically compromised, the data remains unreadable without the correct decryption key or password.
How does co-termination work for educational licenses?
Co-termination means that all your licenses for this product will have the same expiration date, typically aligned with your institution's fiscal or academic year. This simplifies renewal planning and budgeting.
Can this encryption be managed remotely?
Yes, Bitdefender GravityZone provides a centralized console that allows IT administrators to manage encryption policies, monitor status, and enforce security across all enrolled endpoints remotely.
