Luckily, the data encryption capabilities built into every Quantum LTO-4 tape drive can help organizations prevent a costly and embarrassing security breach.

The right encryption key management solution can help minimize the impact of encryption processes on IT operations. The encryption key management capabilities built into popular backup applications provide a cost-effective approach for organizations with a single tape library. For customers with multiple tape libraries distributed throughout the organization, Quantum's Q-EKM solution provides a robust, transparent, fully automated approach to enterprise encryption key management.
