Overview of HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 systems security on secure encrypted drives for data-at-rest protection, as security becomes more and more of a concern for customers.

Protecting your data-at-rest with HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12

With the explosive growth of digital services and technologies, there’s a prevailing concern around data security and evolving regulations. The multilayered security solution required to protect data must be robust and adaptable. At the most basic level is the protection of physical data on the storage device—data at rest. Therefore, Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s focus on security continues through our use of self-encrypting drives (SEDs).

Self-encrypting drives

On HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio and beyond, our focus on SEDs to deliver data-at-rest protection, helping ensure data remains encrypted throughout its lifecycle. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unauthorized attackers with physical access to a storage device, physical data breaches, and compliance violations. These SEDs have a robust authentication mechanism that requires authentication credentials to access contents of the storage device. Therefore, it offers peace of mind to organizations handling confidential data. If you're concerned about drive performance with SEDs, it performs encryption at line rate and do not impact overall server performance.
