SafeNet Launches StorageSecure Multi-Tenant NAS Encryption Appliance

by Mark Kidd

SafeNet has announced the immediate availability of StorageSecure, a self-contained NAS hardware encryption appliance developed in collaboration with NetApp. StorageSecure is designed to drop into the network between clients and servers, linking them via a hardware cryptographic path to provide data isolation in multi-tenant environments.


SafeNet has announced the immediate availability of StorageSecure, a self-contained NAS hardware encryption appliance developed in collaboration with NetApp. StorageSecure is designed to drop into the network between clients and servers, linking them via a hardware cryptographic path to provide data isolation in multi-tenant environments.

SafeNet StorageSecure integrates with directory services including LDAP, Microsoft AD, and NIS to incorporate existing user access and authentication controls. An additional layer of dual authorization control can be defined within the appliance. StorageSecure offers centralized auditing and security management, with validation underway for NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliance.
 
KeySecure Integration
StorageSecure integrates with SafeNet’s Enterprise Key Management solution, KeySecure, to centrally manage cryptographic keys across encryption platforms, including key and policy administration.
 
KeySecure can be used for key management of StorageSecure appliances, NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) full disk encryption, and devices which support the KMIP standard. KeySecure also offers key management for other storage encryption solutions including Brocade encryption switch (BES) self-encrypted drives used in other SAN and NAS environments and self-encrypted backup tape drives.
