Data Theft Prevention is crucial due to it’s concerned with Security, Compliance and Privacy. According to the Computer Security Institute report in 2007, 71% of companies surveyed utilized encryption for some of their data in transit, and 53% utilized encryption for some of their data in storage. The encryption can be controlled by Controller, by Host or By Appliance based. The U.S. National security Agency stated that the best place to perform the data encryption is in the hard drive.

Self Encrypting Drive (SED) is one method to implement Full Disk Encryption (FDE) for data at rest on a HDD. The encryption within the hard drive is optimal because that’s precisely where the data resides. The advantages to use SED as the encryption policy to prevent data theft from any unauthorized access would be:
- Simplified Key Management
- Reduced cost via standardized technology
- Maximum performance
- Superior Security
- Eliminate Re-encryption

The Arena TS-4801R Green Storage is the whole new milestone for disk array. The products fully comply with latest HDD trends - SAS, Small Form Factor and Self Encrypting Drive, providing High Performance, Eco Friendly and Superior protection on data-at-rest. The embedded intelligent F/W algorithm support self-encrypting drives; the “Instant Secure Erase” function which permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning drives, providing a much more safety level of data erasure than other common methods, such as overwriting or degaussing. Moreover, the web-based “Key Management” function featuring simple and easy way to enable the authentication key for encryption and decryption the Self-Encrypting Drives (SED), making the drive(s) unreadable to any unauthorized access.

• Optimized Integration
The Arena TS-4801R offers hardware based, disk drive integrated encryption for data resident to disks. All encryption executed by SED (Self-Encrypting Drives) itself, where eliminates performance down-time since no sharing of CPU resources.

• Cost Efficiency
The TS-4801R plus SED perform seamlessly with your backup strategy in just a few steps, with no additional hardware or software add-in.

• Superior Security
The TS-4801R and the Self Encrypting Drives apply FIPS approved AES-128 bit encryption algorithm; the government grade data security feature, no backdoor available – without password, data cannot be accessed. The Data-Theft-Prevention storage is designed for applications that require Security, High I/O throughput and continuous Data Availability like Financial, Retail, Medical and Government.
