Storage Area Networks

New solutions require additional security considerations

Direct and Network Attached Storage systems have benefited from years of development in terms of protecting them against internal and external data attack.

Government legislation varies depending on the geographic location of a deployment, but in order for video to be presented in court, surveillance system operators need to prove it has not been tampered with and that the evidence chain is intact.

Operators need to ascertain who might have looked at video surveillance footage and why.

The good news is that it is now possible for steps to be taken to ensure that a SAN deployment enjoys the same level of reliability, security, and integrity that DAS and NAS systems have attained.
