Storage Security Series: Protecting Data at Rest - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Contrary to popular belief, securing “data at rest” does not simply mean encrypting the data prior to storage. While it is true that data encryption plays a major role in securing “data at rest,” there are several other factors that come into play and are as important as encryption. In this webinar, we present the end-to-end process to securing “data at rest,” and discuss all the factors and trade-off that must be considered, and some of the general risks that need to be mitigated, discussing: •How requirements for “data at rest” differ from “data in flight” •Understanding the costs of ransomware •How to protect cryptographic keys from malicious actors •Good and bad uses of key managers: Best policies for retaining cryptographic keys over time (understanding the “key lifecycle”) •How IT departments can increase security risks by introducing weaknesses in the cryptographic security chain •Strengths and weaknesses of relying on government security recommendations •The importance of test validation of data backups
