Data Encryption for Storage Archives
Millions are spent on network security only for tape backups to be handed unencrypted to an unknown third party for long term retention. The NeoScale storage security solution for tape is designed to mitigate third party data theft or loss risks for organisations using tape media for long term archival.
The NeoScale system secures data by transparently encrypting tapes and digitally signing to media to detect any tampering. Additionally, the solution allows data to be logically destroyed through the deletion of decryption keys. As an appliance, it is quickly installed between the backup management software and the tape libraries themselves, and can also be used for mainframe applications via the Luminex ESCON/FICON adapters.
For data administrators faced with meeting storage security requirements dictated by DSD requirements or Payment Card Industry guidelines, encryption is a complex issue.
Reducing security risk, while preserving low operational risk requires sophisticated, automated encryption key management to remove the headaches associated with maintaining key repositories
NeoScale automates key generation, storage and retrieval for tape and disk environments while seamlessly integrating with all common tape backup controllers, SAN environments, tape libraries and replication packages.
Evercom support NeoScale partners in Australia with pre and post sales support, product marketing, training and implementation assistance. NeoScale product information is available from Randtronics (www.randtronics.com) and Enstor (www.enstor.com.au).
Security Event Log Management
For organizations that do not require a complete SIM system such as ArcSight for security governance, we can provide very cost effective software based tools that combine some correlation capability for real time alerting, audit reporting capability along with space efficient long term storage and retrieval. Like ArcSight, these simpler tools can often run in an agentless fashion which means quick deployment and very low overhead.
What many organizations do not realize is that system event logs not only contain the traces of non conformance to organizational policy, but also contain a wealth of health, fault and availability information.
Our event log management tools are easy to trial, and we encourage customers to challenge our ability to be delivering metrics, reports and alerts within hours.
