Data Security
Why is Security Becoming Increasingly Important?
• Data breaches are becoming increasingly common
> Sensitive client/partner data and intellectual property is at risk
• At some point, all drives are out of the administrator’s control
and vulnerable to a breach
> Repurposing, decommissioning, disposal, or servicing
• Data security is now a common component of the corporate
landscape due to necessity and regulatory compliance drivers
• Current methods are not enough
> Drive disposal methods rely on human involvement and subject to failure
> Deleted files can be reinstated
> Password protected data can still be accessed by a skilled individual
14
What are the Negative Impacts of a Data Breach?
•
•
•
•
•
Loss of customers and revenue
Unplanned expenses to remedy a breach
Legal implications, penalties and fines
Negative press and tarnished reputation
Lost goodwill and undermining of other corporate relationships

Security-Capable Drives Value Propositions
• Data is secure at the most basic level – the hard drive
> Covers most data exposures and vulnerabilities all at once
> Security planning is simplified
• Unparalleled Security Assurance with government-grade
encryption
> NSA (National Security Agency) qualified
• Data is protected through the hardware lifecycle
> Enables return of defective drives
> Easily and quickly decommission or repurpose drives with secure erase
• Performance is preserved
> Won’t slow a system down - encryption engine matches the drive’s
maximum port speed
> As more drives are added, the encryption bandwidth scales
> De-duplication and data compression in the storage system is
maintained
• In order for SEDs to be utilized, a drive’s encryption key must
be managed…
