Faculty Encryption Guide
This guide provides an overview of “in-place” or “data at rest” encryption. The focus is on workstation (or desktop), laptop and external drive encryption. This is to protect your information, especially research data, from being accessed by non-authorized people. The focus is not on “data in motion” which means encrypting file transfers on a network, for example.
