[KB8028] Encrypt optical media in ESET Endpoint Encryption

The article below applies only to the EEE Client or EEE Server and not EFDE.

You can encrypt optical media only with file-level encryption and not full-disk encryption (FDE). Other removable media can be encrypted with FDE.

Insert a blank disc such as CD, DVD or Blu-Ray into your optical media drive.
Move the files that you want to encrypt on an optical drive with EEE into a separate folder.
In your Windows notification area, right-click the EEE icon and click Removable media → Optical Media Encryption.
