Windows Disk 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 Extremely high performance and fault-tolerant SAN storage encryption required Solutions Spitfire StoreSafe for SAN secures IP-SAN storage with least integration efforts Sensitive corporate data in form of storage volumes 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 Windows iSCSI initiator client to access Spitfire StoreSafe protected storage volume Spitfire StoreSafe protected volumes are accessed as if they are in plain while sensitive data are stored persistently encrypted at all times This demonstration assumes your client a Microsoft Windows system Continue
