Securing an NVMe-oF IP Fabric | SNIA

Abstract

Storage Area Networks (SANs) are usually used to access the most critical data of an organization, therefore ensuring their security is of paramount importance. This presentation will introduce the general SAN security threats and the methods (authentication and secure channel) to mitigate them. It will also present the authentication protocol and secure channel specifications that have been defined for NVMe-oF over IP fabrics, with special attention to the NVMe/TCP case.

Understand security threats to Storage Area Networks
Understand NVMe-oF threat mitigation
Understand Authentication for NVMe-oF
