Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac

FileVault disk encryption

Note: The FileVault disk encryption feature will be available in Kaspersky Security Center 10 SP3. For more information, contact Kaspersky Lab Technical Support.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows managing FileVault encryption remotely. Encryption prevents other users from unauthorized access to sensitive data stored on the startup disk of the user's computer.

When an administrator starts FileVault encryption of a computer from Kaspersky Security Center, Kaspersky Endpoint Security prompts a user of this computer to enter his or her credentials. Disk encryption only starts after the user provides the credentials and the computer is restarted.

Note: If FileVault encryption management isn't enabled in Kaspersky Security Center, users with administrator rights can encrypt and decrypt their Mac startup disks from System Preferences. For more information on FileVault, refer to Apple's documentation.

If the computer has multiple computer accounts, FileVault encryption makes the disk inaccessible to all users except for the user who entered the credentials.

Allow other users to unlock the disk

Note: Administrator rights are required to allow other users to unlock the disk.
