Data Encryption

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed on a computer running Microsoft Windows for Workstations, data encryption functionality is fully available. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed on a computer running Microsoft Windows for File Servers, only hard drive encryption using BitLocker Drive Encryption technology is available.

This section contains information about encryption and decryption of hard drives, removable drives, and files and folders on local computer drives, and provides instructions on how to configure and perform encryption and decryption of data using Kaspersky Endpoint Security and the Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-in.

If there is no access to encrypted data, see the special instructions for working with encrypted data (Working with encrypted files in the event of limited file encryption functionality, Working with encrypted devices should access to them not exist).
