*Data At Rest Encryption *

High profile security breeches have been making the news on a regular
basis. A few of the most recent headlines include the U.S. Government
Office of Personnel Management, Home Depot, Target, and Sony. Millions of
records containing credit and debit card numbers, Personally Identifiable
Information (PII), and intellectual property have been stolen. The
consequences of these security breaches are significant in terms of actual
and potential financial losses, and placement of individuals at risk of
identity theft. This presentation focuses on  Data At Rest Encryption
(DARE)  and which is one element of an overall security solution. The
reason for the focus on Data At Rest Encryption is that it has been our
experience that there are points of confusion regarding why and how to
deploy Data At Rest Encryption. In addition, data encryption would have
mitigated the damage caused by these breeches. The key take always are as
follows:

    1. Key use cases for Data at Rest Encryption
    2. Basic high end data center security procedures
    3. Alignment value of the data, threat, and level of security
