Adding applications to exceptions
You can configure exception rules for trusted apps so that the Ransomware
Remediation feature does not block them if they perform ransomware-like
actions.
To add apps to the Ransomware Remediation exceptions list:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the RANSOMWARE REMEDIATION pane, click Exceptions.
3. To start adding apps to the list, click Add a new application to the list.
4.10. File encryption
Bitdefender File Encryption enables you to create encrypted,
password-protected logical drives (or vaults) on your computer where you
can securely store your confidential and sensitive documents. The data
stored on the vaults can only be accessed by users who know the password.
The password allows you to open, store data on and close a vault while
maintaining its security. While a vault is open, you can add new files, access
current files or change them.
Physically, the vault is a file stored on the local hard drive having the .bvd
extension. Although the physical files representing the vaulted drives can
be accessed from a different operating system (such as Linux), the
information stored on them cannot be read because it is encrypted.
File vaults can be managed from the Bitdefender window or by using the
Windows contextual menu and logical drive associated with the vault.
