Option Definition
Optical Media Protection Level Provides the ability to specify protection level for CD/DVD. These methods are mutually exclusive and the Enforce Encryption (with offsite access) option is enabled by default.
  • Allow Unprotected Access (report) — Does not encrypt while burning files and folders to a CD or DVD.
  • Allow Encryption (with offsite access) — Allows securely encrypted data to be written to optical media or to ISO images. Individual files up to 4 GB in size can be placed on an encrypted CD/DVD.

    Note

    This option allows the creation of media that can be securely authenticated and accessed by any system with a supported Windows operating system, without having to install the Trellix FRP client.

    Note

    The type of the optical media determines its capacity (ISO can be any size up to DVD-DL). Supported optical media: CD, DVD, and DVD-DL.

  • Enforce Encryption (with offsite access) — Enforces the secure encryption of data written to optical media or to ISO images. Individual files up to 4 GB in size can be placed on an encrypted CD/DVD.
