Does PGP Whole Disk Encryption support standby and hibernation modes?

Yes. At any time, even during initial hard drive encryption, a user may shut down the system or place it into standby or hibernation mode. When the system is shut down or placed in hibernation mode, a user must re-authenticate to PGP Whole Disk Encryption to access the system. If an initial drive encryption was in progress, it will be immediately resumed following successful authentication.
