FileVault Disk Encryption

Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows FileVault encryption to be managed remotely. Encryption prevents unauthorized users from accessing sensitive data stored on the startup disk of the user's computer.

When an administrator starts FileVault encryption on a computer from Kaspersky Security Center, Kaspersky Endpoint Security prompts a user of this computer to enter his or her credentials. Disk encryption only starts after the user provides the credentials and the computer is restarted.

If the computer has multiple computer accounts, FileVault encryption makes the disk inaccessible to all users except for the user who entered his or her credentials.

Note: If you forgot or lost your credentials and cannot access the encrypted disk, contact the system administrator in your organization.

Allow other users to unlock the disk

Note: Administrator rights are required to allow other users to unlock the disk.
