[转载]Security Considerations for Storage Area Networks(ASN)

信息来源:邪恶八进制信息安全团队([url]www.eviloctal.com[/url])

In a storage area network, it is possible to perform LAN-free and server-free backup operations that copy data from a storage device directly to another storage device without transferring the data across the general-purpose network and servers. In other words, data are sent across the dedicated storage area network directly between the source and destination storage devices.

In this paper I will describe Storage Area Networks (SANs) and the benefits they can bring as well as the emerging need for them in businesses today. I will discuss the importance of SAN security and why it is crucial for protecting a company’s assets. This paper will touch upon common threats to a SAN and the precautions a business can take to protect itself. The main focus of this paper will be on securing a Storage Area Network by using best practices in setting up a SAN as well as securing the data on a day-to-day basis.
