WatchGuard Cloud Full Encryption features showing on a laptop screen

Full disk encryption protects all data stored on a device by encrypting the entire hard drive, making it unreadable without proper authentication. If a laptop or workstation is lost or stolen, encryption helps prevent unauthorized users from accessing sensitive business information, even if they remove the drive or attempt to bypass the operating system.

Employee laptops often contain customer information, financial records, intellectual property, and other sensitive data. Encrypting devices helps reduce the risk of data breaches resulting from lost or stolen hardware while supporting data privacy initiatives and security best practices.

Administrators for WatchGuard Full Encryption can deploy, monitor, and manage policies through WatchGuard Cloud without visiting individual devices. Encryption status, policy enforcement, and recovery information are all centrally available, simplifying day-to-day administration across distributed environments.

Many regulations and cyber insurance requirements recommend or require encryption for sensitive data stored on endpoint devices. WatchGuard Full Encryption helps organizations protect data at rest, demonstrate that appropriate safeguards are in place in real time, and provide detailed reports on encryption status.

Yes, users can recover encrypted devices. Recovery keys are securely managed through the centralized console, enabling authorized administrators to assist users who are locked out of their encrypted devices. This simplifies recovery while maintaining strong security controls.
