Full Disk Encryption Policy Builder

The Full Disk Encryption Policy Builder

The Full Disk Encryption Policy Builder is used to create and edit policies for the purpose of configuration, initialization, and de-initialization. The purpose of these policies is to allow for an administrator to remotely control and ensure the consistent, central deployment, and configuration of FDE with no need for user interaction.

• Initialization Policy

These policies allow you to initialize and configure computers that already have Matrix42 Full Disk Encryption installed but not yet initialized.

• Configuration Policy

These policies allow you to either perform a new installation of FDE to another networked computer (remote installation), or to remotely configure FDE after it has been installed.

• De-initialization Policy

These policies allow you to decrypt drives or remove boot security on a client machine, or remove the whole product (for details, see Creating deinitialization policy).

A policy is usually created on a different computer from the computer to which the policy will be deployed. FDE must be installed on the computer that generates the policy, but boot security and drive encryption do not.
