Symantec Encryption Management Server Installation Guide 10.5.1

Whole Disk Encryption: Encrypts the entire hard drive, including boot sectors and swap files, protecting data from unauthorized access if a device is lost or stolen.

If you are a licensed user, use the Broadcom portal. If you are a home user, look to VeraCrypt or BitLocker instead. Encryption is too critical to trust to unsigned downloads or outdated code. Protect your data wisely—and always, always keep your recovery key offline.

Recommendation: If you must use 10.5.1, isolate the machine from the internet. For any machine connected to a network, upgrade to the latest Broadcom encryption client or migrate to an alternative.

Standalone: Can be installed directly from the download portal.
