With 17,000 attendees and over 350 exhibitors the RSA2008 Conference can be an intimidating experience for IT storage professionals who are investigating privacy solutions for data-at-rest. HP is a comforting and familiar face for these storage professionals because they know HP is committed to both storage and security with the power of our Secure Advantage portfolio. HP addresses security holistically from the desktop to the data center to protect resources, data and provide validation for audits.

HP StorageWorks has several new Secure Advantage proof points to display at the RSA show including:

• A fabric switch designed to offer privacy for legacy tape data.
• A simple encryption kit single tape autoloaders and small libraries.
• Integration of the Secure Key Manager with the HP Compliance Log Warehouse to extend our value for compliance.
• The new HP Storage Security Assessment tool enables customers to gauge their data protection privacy vulnerabilities online and free of charge.

Data-at-rest is a huge privacy risk but HP is definitely there to help with solutions, tools and services which you can see demonstrated here at the RSA Conference.
