Fibre Channel Security Prepares for Quantum Resistance

Data breaches are becoming more frequent and more expensive. In industries categorized as critical infrastructure – health care, financial services, pharmaceutical, energy, transportation, and industrial – the losses are significantly higher than in other sectors. Powerful new quantum computers will bring grave new threats on top of the increasing baseline risk. Cybersecurity experts fear that quantum computers will be able to crack cryptographic algorithms that have long resisted cyberattack by traditional computers. In response, governments around the world have developed new laws and regulations aimed at modernizing data centers. With the recent INCITS FC-SP-3 standard, the Fibre Channel industry has responded with new standards that tighten the security on what is already considered the world most secure – and in fact, air-gapped – network technology upon which critical infrastructures rely for their most valuable data assets. In this webinar, industry experts will discuss: • Significant recent data center security breaches that are forcing the industry to respond • The new Zero-Trust government regulations that will require more stringent storage network security. • Updates and changes in INCITS FC-SP-3 • Data encryption approaches – Application based encryption vs FC In-flight and Storage at-rest data encryption • Real world implementation examples and use cases
