Encryption

All computers owned by UT Austin are required to be full disk encrypted unless an exception has specifically been approved by ISO. Any non-University owned computers which are authorized to conduct official University business must also be encrypted.

There is already an extensive Wiki site managed by campus ITS to provide assistance to all users (TSCs, students, faculty, staff) with information on encryption policy and how to encrypt systems with UT Austin Approved Encryption Methods
