Question

Requirement to encrypt backup tapes - how in the world...

Information risk management, Features/Functionality

Hello all - have a recently-presented requirement, as many of you may have, to encrypt or otherwise protect the data on our iSeries backup tapes that leave the premises.

Any experiences or recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hope that helps a little. Also, try one of the TechTarget sister sites, SeachSecurity.com, and run a search on encryption.

Good luck!
