Encrypting User Data

You can enable encryption to ensure that Kerio Control encrypts logs, configuration, statistics, and reporting data before writing it to the disk.

Encryption is bound to a specific storage device, so if you plan to change the hardware you must first disable encryption. Also, encryption results in more resources being utilized so performance maybe impacted.

  2. Go to the Data Encryption tab.
