Storage Encryption

There are several different approaches to encrypting server data, some of the main Storage Encryption challenges include:

• Storage Environment Changes - Most storage encryption solutions are not transparent and require considerable new hardware and changes to the storage environment.
• Threat Protection, Physical Media, and Data Theft - Storage-oriented encryption provides protection against the theft of physical media, but does little to protect against internal and external hackers. Most significant data breaches have involved hacking rather than theft of physical media.
• Separation of Duties - Storage-oriented encryption can secure data at rest on the physical media if that media is somehow stolen, but it does not protect against a hacker or malicious insider accessing data through the corporate network
