Transparent File Encryption

Problems Enterprise storage data consist of business secrets which are required to be secured from third party access National and industrial information privacy standards mandate enterprises and organizations to secure their private business data and customer particulars by strong encryption Off-the-shelf commercial and legacy applications can hardly be altered incorporating encryption modules Even though cryptography algorithms are open and some encryption software development kits are available, data cryptography requires sophisticated development skills which is not cost-effective for majority of enterprises Solutions Spitfire StoreSafe for NAS secures network storage with least integration efforts Sensitive corporate data in form of files are encrypted on the fly without changing application infrastructure nor user workflow Demonstration In this demonstration, we will show you how to make use of Spitfire StoreSafe for NAS to protect a remote storage Data files are accessed as if they are in plain while sensitive data are stored persistently encrypted at all times This demonstration assumes the demo machine a Microsoft Windows box IMPORTANT: This demonstration requires VPN dial-in Continue
