"Key Management Must-Knows To Achieve Compliance"
Presentation Description
In order to compete, innovate and grow, companies have added disparate storage devices to their IT infrastructure at a fast pace. With 24-7 access to information, managing the security, confidentiality and integrity of stored data has increased dramatically in strategic importance. A new market called storage security has emerged to support the business and technical needs associated with protecting data at rest.
As storage security has evolved, the management of keys has evolved as well. Robert Lockhart, NeoScale Systems' Security Architect will discuss the newest encryption challenge: key management. We will explore the key management service "network" and how it connects to encryption applications and systems to provide them with key creation, sharing, deletion and other essential key management services. Examples will be provided of how in the midst of escalating compliance regulation, customers can establish best practices and address real pain points when they consider key management as a service.
