File Encryption protects individual files and folders on local hard drives, and removable media (USB drives). You can set policies specifying which folders and drives are encrypted on the device and policies about encrypted data on removable media. Encryption is performed after authentication takes place.

File Encryption can also protect different files with different keys, allowing you to set access policies to the File Encryption device and separate policies for access to certain files. This is useful in environments where multiple users access one endpoint.
