39.0 Generating a New Encryption Key

You can increase data security by regularly generating a new encryption key. The new key becomes the active encryption key, which means that all newly encrypted files use the key as well as all previously encrypted files that are accessed after the new key is generated.

  1. In ZENworks Control Center, click Endpoint Security.

  2. Under Common Tasks (in the left navigation pane) click Encryption: Generate Keys.

  3. Click OK to confirm creation of the new key.

    The next time a device refreshes its information from the ZENworks Server, the Endpoint Security Agent begins using the new key.
