Frequently Asked Questions

What does Preboot Authentication (PBA) do?

It serves as an extension of the BIOS or boot firmware that guarantees a secure, tamper-proof environment and prevents anything being read from the hard disk until the user confirms their credentials.

How do I enroll recovery questions?

Select pre-defined questions from a list, enter and confirm the answers, and then click Enroll. You can also delete or re-enroll questions if they are already enrolled.

What is a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED)?

A hard drive with a built-in encryption mechanism that automatically encrypts all stored data and decrypts data leaving the media, making the encryption transparent to the user.

How does Single Sign-On (SSO) simplify authentication?

When multi-factor authentication is enabled at both preboot and Windows logon, SSO requires authentication only at preboot, allowing users to be automatically logged on to Windows.
