Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is the ultimate tool for protecting the data on lost and stolen systems, and it’s also a critical component of your overall security and compliance. Whether it’s FileVault for Mac® or BitLocker for Windows®, IT admins can rest at ease when FDE is silently securing the critical data on their systems. The challenge has been requiring FDE and doing it efficiently. For admins working in a distributed, mixed-OS world, it has been near impossible to achieve straightforward, centralized FDE management.
At JumpCloud®, we’re hoping to change that. Watch the webinar below, which includes a demo of our new policies for managing FileVault and BitLocker in action.
The Webinar:
Watch George Wagner, Senior Product Marketing Manager at JumpCloud, as he discusses FDE and how you can enforce it across heterogeneous IT environments.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why it’s critical to protect user systems against data breach.
- What FDE is and how it bolsters your security posture.
- Why enabling FDE in mixed Mac and Windows environments is painful.
- How JumpCloud simplifies system security regardless of location or operating system.
- Live demonstration of JumpCloud’s FDE policies for FileVault and BitLocker

Why You Should Watch:
Every 53 seconds, a laptop is stolen (Forbes).
One of yours might be next. In any given moment, there’s nothing you can do to stop a user from leaving their work device in a cafe, taxi, or bar – or to protect them from a mugging, for that matter.
But you can minimize the security risk in case of device theft. Password management goes a long way (e.g. complexity standards, rotation, MFA). So does the ability to enforce security policies, such as setting the lock screen to initiate automatically after a certain number of seconds.
41% of all data breach events from 2005 to 2015 were caused by lost devices (ID Theft Center).
Lost or stolen laptops expose organizations to costly threats. Example A is the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, which had to pay a $3.9 million fine when a laptop with the healthcare information of 13,000 patients was stolen from a vehicle (Healthcare IT News). Don’t risk it. Sleep better at night knowing that FDE is enabled on all of your Mac and Windows systems.
