NetApp DataFort Security Systems

Achieve security throughout the entire lifecycle of your regulated and sensitive data for multiple heterogeneous storage and tape backup systems with NetApp DataFort® systems without disrupting applications, clients, servers, or user workflow.

Networked storage speeds access to your information but it can also leave your data vulnerable. Firewalls and intrusion-prevention systems can secure assets at the perimeter, but your data at the storage core can be exposed to both internal and external attacks.

NetApp DataFort systems combine secure access controls, authentication, storage hardware–based encryption, and secure logging to protect your stored data.

Deploy inline or network-attached storage to reap security advantages without impacting user workflow. NetApp DataFort fits seamlessly into existing storage environments, supporting CIFS, NFS, IP SAN, FC Disk, FC Tape, and SCSI protocols. Protect data both at rest and in flight with encryption certified by the National Institute for Standards and Technology, even if you outsource your IT management.

Lock down stored data with strong encryption—routing all access through secure hardware—and simplify the security model for networked storage.

Key Points

• Build a physical separation at the critical intersection of your data security and networked storage
• Protect sensitive stored data with secure access controls, authentication, storage encryptions, and secure logging
• Generate customizable logs to track relevant events so you have a history of administrative actions and know who is trying to intrude into your network
• Fend off security breaches using AES 256-bit encryption and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) to create strong keys that never leave the secure hardware of NetApp DataFort
• Compartmentalize your data to provide an additional layer of protection for your secure data
