Overview

Encryption Enterprise for Mac can manage FileVault full disk encryption.

● Encryption Enterprise for Mac - client encryption software that encrypts all data and enforces access control

● Policy Proxy - used to distribute policies

● Security Server - used for client encryption software activations

● Security Management Server or Security Management Server Virtual - provides centralized security policy administration,

integrates with existing enterprise directories and creates reports. For the purposes of this document, both Servers are cited

as Dell Server, unless a specific version needs to be cited (for example, a procedure is different using Security Management

Server Virtual).

These Dell components inter-operate seamlessly to provide a secure mobile environment without detracting from the user

experience.

FileVault Encryption

Dell Encryption can manage Mac FileVault full disk encryption. The Dell Volume Encryption policy must be set to On for

encryption to take place and for other policy settings to function. For information on additional policies, see AdminHelp.

Only FileVault encryption is supported, which Encryption Enterprise will manage. If a computer has the Dell Volume Encryption

policy set to On and Encrypt Using FileVault for Mac set to Off, a policy conflict message displays on the Encryption client. The

administrator must set both policies to On.
