Learning how to secure those tapes

I got quite a response to the last Storage Insider column focused on media security.

To say that readers and vendors find that topic important is an under statement. There is an urgency for more information on storage security that, interestingly enough, is equally strong among both potential buyers and sellers.

Obviously vendors (and perhaps reporters?) need to do a better job of informing the public of what products and services are available in that area.

Spectra Logic seems to be ahead of the pack on this. As you may know, last year they began offering tape libraries with integrated encryption together with an update kit for some models.

If you are interested to learn more about encrypting data on tapes register for a free Webinar from Spectra Logic that should be available later this month.

If you know of other Webinars or interesting training material on this or other topics please let me know.
