SecurStor is ATP’s answer to the growing data security concerns in the industry and is integrated into most of ATP’s new or upcoming industrial only flash storage solutions. Its feature set can be customized to the individual requirements of an application or a system and with that helps protect mission-critical applications against unauthorized access to data or systems.

SecurStor’s feature range includes, but goes far beyond, conventionally available data at rest protection mechanisms such as encryption or TCG Opal to assure protection not only of data that is stored in the NAND but can also be used as the foundation for protecting data that is being processed inside a system or sent across a network.

 

Gone are the days when vehicles were merely modes of transportation, household appliances performed limited functions and machines were just mechanical contraptions. Today, things no longer function in isolation. They communicate and interact with one another, with people, with the environment and essentially with everything that is connected to the vast network commonly called the Internet of Things (IoT), which is increasingly growing and transforming into the Internet of Everything (IoE) While this unstoppable phenomenon is creating limitless opportunities, it is also creating unimaginable security threats and vulnerabilities with the constant generation, movement, processing and storing of data. If prevention and management measures are not in place, such risks could result in substantial financial and legal consequences.

According to the "2018 Cost of a Data Breach" Study conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by IBM Security, the global average cost of a data breach in 2018 amounted to $3.86 million, up 6.4% compared with 2017.  Each stolen record containing sensitive and confidential information cost $148, a 4.8% increase year over year. The table below shows the possible risks and types of protection mechanism typically employed for specific data states:

                                                                                            

	Data at Rest	System-Level & Network-level
Definition	Data stored on media, not in use	Data in process and/or shared in cloud/network
Possible risk	Theft of HW, „unsafe disposal“	Malware, Spyware, Ransomware, Unauthorized access
Protection	OPAL, eDrive	ATP custom features
Availability	common controller feature	limited but growing
