ZENworks Full Disk Encryption provides software-based encryption on standard, solid state, and self-encrypted hard disks.
Full Disk Encryption provides sector-based encryption of the entire disk or selected volumes (partitions). All files on a volume are encrypted, including any temporary files, swap files, or operating system files. Because all files are encrypted, the data cannot be accessed when booting the computer from external media such as a CD-ROM, floppy disk, or USB drive.
Compatible hard disks are any 3.5 or 2.5 inch disks that have the IDE, SATA, or PATA interface standard.
You can choose the industry-standard encryption algorithm (AES, Blowfish, DES, or DESX) and key length that best meets your organizations requirements. If the device firmware is configured for UEFI, the AES algorithm and 256 key length are automatically used.
NOTE:The cryptographic module used in ZENworks Full Disk Encryption to encrypt standard hard drives is not Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certified. However, the cryptographic module implements standards consistent with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification.
