PointSec Encryption Instructions

In order to protect The University of Akron and personal sensitive information, the Information Technology Security Committee (ITSC) requires that Whole Hard Disk Encryption software be installed on faculty and staff laptops.

Whole hard drive encryption protects data on a computer from access if it is stolen. Encryption software is another layer in The University of Akron overall security plan.

Encryption is the process of using advanced algorithms to convert data to a form that is indistinguishable from random data without the key.

After an exhaustive review, Information Technology Services identified Pointsec data encryption software as the product that best meets the University’s needs.
