Device Encryption step by step (Mac)
Follow these steps to encrypt Macs.
Before users can start:
- You must install the Sophos Central agent software on the endpoints.
- You must configure and turn on a Device Encryption policy in Sophos Central.
- Users must log on to their endpoints. They must be connected to and synchronized with Sophos Central. Note that remote logon is not supported.
These instructions tell you what the users see and what they need to do.
When the system disk is encrypted, the internal data volumes are automatically encrypted. Encrypted disks are automatically unlocked when the computer starts.
Notifications tell users about the encryption status of the individual disks.
