Q:Why do I have to have Whole Disk Encryption?
A:
Whole disk encryption helps to prevent exposure of confidential information. Because there is no way to prevent the downloading of confidential information onto a laptop computer all devices are encrypted as a contingency against their potential theft or loss. Encryption is also required in order to be in compliance with applicable UT System standards.
