Encryption Manager for Storage

Benefits

  • Confidently deploy storage encryption
  • Meet continuity and retention requirements
  • Reduce costs of managing encryption
  • Achieve compliance and audit goals
 

Move your encryption strategy forward with standards-based key management.

Storage managers face growing demands to protect sensitive data. In response, storage managers must decide how best to deploy and manage encryption.

Storage systems such as tape drives, switches, and disk arrays are increasingly including encryption. When deploying systems with embedded encryption, storage managers must make sure encryption does not impact business continuity or data accessibility due to inefficient or unreliable key management.

Thales Encryption Manager for Storage enables enterprises to deploy encryption using a single, standards-based key management appliance. Supporting the IEEE P1619.3 draft key management protocol, Thales Encryption Manager for Storage ensures business continuity and data recovery requirements are met. Storage managers remain in control without becoming distracted or burdened with having to learn and manage differing key management systems. 

 

IEEE P1619.3 draft key management protocol
Quickly set up and manage encryption with standards-based key management support.

Key backup 
Ensure access to data with secure backup of encryption keys to offsite and recovery data centers.
 

Synchronized key replication 
Optional automated replication of encryption keys between appliances ensures access to data for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Certified device integration 
Tested and validated support from Thales for multiple storage encryption devices.

Separation of duties 
Administrative roles ensure that no single administrator has access to all functions.

Logging and reporting 
Administrative and system functions are logged, with the ability to integrate your SNMP systems.
