Systematically address your #1 enterprise security gap: storage

Securing Storage is an indispensable resource for every storage and security professional, and for anyone responsible for IT infrastructure, from architects and network designers to administrators.

Youâ??ve invested heavily in securing your applications, operating systems, and network infrastructure. But you may have left one crucial set of systems unprotected: your SAN, NAS, and iSCSI storage systems. Securing Storage reveals why these systems arenâ??t nearly as secure as you think they are, and presents proven best practices for hardening them against more than 25 different attacks.

Securing storage is crucial to protecting intellectual property and trade secrets and complying with regulations ranging from Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA to Gramm-Leach-Bliley and SEC Rule 17a4. This book offers a complete blueprint for protecting all your storage systemsâ??and all the data stored on them.

Most enterprises have failed to adequately address one crucial component of IT security: storage. The storage industry has largely failed to deliver secure solutions, and many IT professionals simply assume that security can be handled elsewhere. The result is a gaping security hole: itâ??s now far easier for internal attackers to compromise storage devices than to attack applications or operating systems. Now, for the first time, one of the worldâ??s top storage security experts systematically reveals the weaknesses in SAN and NAS securityâ??and offers robust, practical solutions.

Drawing on years of leading-edge research, renowned storage architect and security researcher Himanshu Dwivedi explains why SAN and NAS systems have become an open target for unauthorized access and data compromiseâ??and why â??security by obscurityâ? strategies will fail to protect storage, just as theyâ??ve failed elsewhere. Dwivedi offers expert, step-by-step guidance for evaluating your own storage environment, designing security into it, implementing storage security best practices, and optimizing the security settings on any shared storage device. He also presents a full chapter of real-world case studies.
