Encrypt Your Servers
The Problem
If a server or its hard drives go missing, the damage caused by a data breach can be catastrophic. The loss of a laptop or USB thumb drive pales in comparison to the risk associated with a server that contains (for instance) ALL of your customer data or intellectual property. This is a risk that must be mitigated.
All drives eventually leave the building
Just because a server room is on-premises and has a locked door, this does not ensure that data on the servers will remain secure. In the modern enterprise, a range of scenarios can put the data on those servers at risk, including:
- the prevalence of hot-pluggable drives making sensitive data portable even when the server is not;
- insider threats or external threats;
- offline/offsite storage of data;
- drives taken offsite for repair/maintenance;
- exposure of data during transit of the servers/drives between locations;
- data on servers in temporary field offices or other mobile locations; and
- the decommissioning of server drives.
The Solution
SecureDoc offers robust full-disk encryption with support for the large drives and RAID controllers found in servers, to defend all data on server hard drives, and address compliance with privacy and data breach laws. SecureDoc uses certified AES-256 cryptography to encrypt the entire hard drive on a sector-by-sector basis. Sensitive data is well protected, and the risks and costs associated with data breaches are mitigated.
SecureDoc Enterprise Server allows you to centrally deploy, enforce and manage server encryption along with encryption of all the other endpoints across the enterprise. Report and audit capabilities verify the encryption status of your servers. Once SecureDoc is protecting a server, all data on that server is encrypted automatically ‘on the fly’ (no intervention is required).
