What is VLRE?

For computers that do not handle High Risk Data, SWDE is recommended but there is an option to install VLRE (Very Lightweight Reporting Engine, pronounced “velour”), a read-only agent that provides encryption verification without requiring BigFix. VLRE periodically reports on the computer's encryption and screen saver password status, but leaves maintenance of the computer entirely to the user. If your computer is not encrypted, the VLRE installer steps you through the encryption process.
