Data security is one of the paramount requirements for organizations of all sizes. Although many companies invested heavily in protection from network-based attacks and other threats, few effective safeguards are available to protect against potentially costly exposures of proprietary data that results from a hard disk drive being stolen, misplaced, retired, or redeployed.
Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) can satisfy this need by providing the ultimate in security for data-at-rest and can help reduce IT drive retirement costs in the data center. Self-encrypting drives are also an excellent choice if you must comply with government or industry regulations for data privacy and encryption.
To effectively manage a large deployment of SEDs in Lenovo® System x® servers, an organization must rely on a centralized key management solution. This Lenovo Press book explains the technology behind SEDs and demonstrates how to deploy a key management solution that uses IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager and properly setup your System x servers.
