Securing Self-Encrypting Drives

Securing something that is inherently secure is not superfluous. Self-encrypting drives play an integral role in protecting data at rest. These drives utilize hardware-based encryption to protect all data stored on the drive. The encryption process generates encryption keys which are used to lock and unlock the data. These keys are generally stored on a server that multiple people can access leaving them vulnerable to being lost, corrupted, or stolen. 

So, how do you secure the keys to the kingdom? 

View our on-demand webcast, Securing Self-Encrypting Drives, to learn why securing encryption keys in a dedicated hardware key manager better protects your data. We’ll discuss:

• Vulnerabilities of storing keys on a server
• Benefits of external hardware key management
• Importance of separating administrative duties
