Unencrypted Endpoint Drive

An unencrypted endpoint drive refers to a Windows or macOS device drive that does not have data encryption applied. Data on such drives is not protected by encryption, making it vulnerable to unauthorized access if the device is lost or stolen.

To create a new Unencrypted Endpoint Drive policy:

  1. From the Device Posture tab, select + ADD:

    Add new device posture policy

  2. Select Add to Windows or Add to macOS.

    The Add new device policy dialog appears.

  3. Select Unencrypted Endpoint Drive from the Select policy type dropdown.

  6. Select SAVE.

    The policy is created with the configured settings.
