Abstract
Attacks against data (e.g., data breaches and ransomware) continue at a dizzying pace, so there is pressure to have storage systems and ecosystems play a more active role in defense. Over the past 9-12 months, there have been promising developments in several industry and standards development organizations that may enhance storage security capabilities. This session summarizes these recent storage security developments, highlights a few important interdependencies, and identifies a few activities that are still underway.
