NetApp Lifetime Key Management

Rely on NetApp's Lifetime Key Management™ system to support your data encryption requirements while strengthening and simplifying your long-term key management needs.

NetApp Lifetime Key Management system offers a secure, centrally managed, automated system so encrypted data is rendered unreadable until your security administrator authorizes the data to be read.

• Third-generation technology gives you a tested, stable, reliable system
• Two-factor authentication and minimum quorum requirements ensure no single person can override your system security

Storing encrypted enterprise data for months or years means encryption keys must be archived securely without complicating matters for your administrators or users.

Use SecureView™ management functionality for:

• Deploying firmware patches to all systems
• Configuring backup and management systems
• Monitoring systems’ health, status, and licenses
• Running commands on groups of systems and collecting results centrally

Transparent yet secure key movement is now possible through authenticated links. These links allow policy-based key sharing to automatically send keys to wherever encrypted data needs to be restored.
