Rozwiązanie

When Dell Encryption Personal is initially activated, a policy template must be chosen to complete activation. Policy templates contain a default set of policy settings that work together. After activation, the policy template may require modification to:

  • Provide exclusions for software.
  • Adhere to new security standards.
  • Troubleshoot the endpoint.

Policy templates are to be used as a baseline to be customized to your environment.

Warning: Modifying policy templates or applying custom policy settings may impact both the scope of encrypted data and how it is encrypted. Dell Technologies recommends contacting Dell ProSupport with any questions before making modifications. For more information, reference Dell Data Security International Support Phone Numbers.
 
Note:
  • The Encryption Administrator Password is required to make any policy modifications.
  • A storage device (outside of the endpoint with Dell Encryption Personal installed) is required to back up the encryption keys.

Click the appropriate client version for specific steps to modify policy. For more information about versioning, reference How to Identify the Dell Encryption Enterprise or Dell Encryption Personal Version.
