Why Full Disk Encryption Security Matters
Every computer within an organization carries sensitive information that must stay protected. Without the appropriate encryption, lost or stolen devices can place the organization in severe litigation.
Full Disk Encryption Security is unique because even when the hard drives are removed, the information is kept secure. The data is only accessible to verified users. In the absence of portable drives, encryption is developed to be as portable as necessary to meet any organizational model, be it remote, hybrid, or in-office.
