ZENworks® ESM 3.5 Administrator’s Manual 98
Data Encryption
Data Encryption determines whether file encryption will be enforced on the endpoint, and what
type of encryption will be available. Data can be encrypted to permit file sharing (with password
protection) or can set encrypted data to be read only on computers running the Storage Encryption
Solution.
Note:
ESM Storage Device Control is not permitted when the Storage Encryption Solution is activated.
To access this control, open the Global Policy Settings tab and click the Data Encryption icon in
the policy tree on the left
Figure 75 : Data Encryption controls
To activate, click to check Enable Encryption.
Note:
Encryption keys will be distributed to all machines that receive policies from the Policy Distribution Service,
regardless of whether data encryption is activated or not, however, this control instructs the ZSC to
activate its encryption drivers, which will allow a user to read files sent to them without requiring the File
Decryption Utility (see “ZENworks File Decryption Utility” on page 62 for more details).
