Encryption and Common Managed Security Service Recommendations

August 15, 2012

High level approach to encryption:

Encryption of archival data – Tape Encryption

    • Recommend hardware-based encryption for all backup tapes
    • Utilize central automated tape management and key management solution, such as Tivoli (TKMS) with appropriate tape hardware

Encryption of data at rest – NAS Encryption

    • Not recommended to encrypt entire NAS storage due to implementation and operational cost and complexity (e.g. performance impacts)
    • Recommended to apply database and/or application encryption to specific (high value, high sensitivity) data types i.e. Vormetric or Oracle encryption

Encryption of data in transit – Network Encryption

    • End-to-end protection for data in transit using SSL/TLS type encryption is recommended (Customer application owned)
    • Recommended for high value links like MSSP to Clients using (Cypher Optics)
