Full Disk Encryption
GravityZone Full Disk Encryption allows you to operate BitLocker on Windows endpoints and FileVault and the diskutil command-line utility on macOS endpoints via Control Center.
To ensure data protection, this module provides full disk encryption for boot and non-boot volumes, on fixed disks, and it stores the recovery keys in case the users forget their passwords.
The Encryption module uses the existing hardware resources in your GravityZone environment.
From the software perspective, the requirements are almost the same as for BitLocker, FileVault and the diskutil command-line utility and most of the limitations refer to these tools.
