Using Firewalls; Protecting Data Against Viruses - Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E440 User Manual

If an Encryption solid-state drive or a Disk Encryption hard disk drive is supported and installed in your
computer, you can logically dispose of all the data on the drive in a short time by erasing the cryptographic
key. The data encrypted with the old key is not physically erased but remains on the drive; however, it
cannot be decrypted without the old key. This feature is enabled by ThinkPad Setup Menu Extension Utility
and is available as a menu item in ThinkPad Setup.
