Full Disk Encryption (FDE) secures desktop and laptop computers from unauthorized physical access by using both boot protection and full disk encryption. Full Disk Encryption provides the following security functions:

  • Strong Multi-User Authentication 
  • Support for Multi-type Authentication Methods using Smart Card, Password etc. 
  • Secure Remote Help for users who have forgotten their passwords 
  • Central management, deployment, configuration, monitoring and reporting. 
  • Single Sign-On, Password Synchronization within the OneCheck concept. 
  • Advanced Security features for Preboot Bypass using Network Authorization, TPM and Enhanced Network Location Awareness. 
  • Audit logging of events such as successful and failed logon attempts

With Full Disk Encryption, all logical partitions/volumes are boot protected and encrypted, even if the disk is removed and loaded into a controlled machine.

For better understanding of FDE architecture, functionalities, best practices and troubleshooting, refer to FDE Advanced Technical Reference Guide.
