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 full disk encryption using BitLocker Drive Encryption technology is available.

This section contains information about encryption and decryption of files on local computer drives, hard drives and removable 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).
