Data Security

Companies focus their IT security on perimeter and physical security to ensure that no-one can hack into their system or break in to their IT environment and steal their data.

So why is it then that these companies backup their data on to tape, unencrypted, and then send it off site with a commercial courier? They do this to ensure that they can have it brought back in, should there be a disaster, yet they send this data off site unencrypted to that anyone with a tape drive can read their confidential data?

To resolve this problem the Paranoia family was developed, this is an inline hardware tape encryption appliance, available with a variety of interfaces.

The Paranoia2 range uses unique dual interlaced versions of DES3 and extended DES encryption algorithms along with powerful pre compression allied with specialist SCSI interface and control to produce a plug and play solution for any standard SCSI tape drive in use today.

The ParanoiaFF product offers the same flexibility and options as the Paranoia2 but with 2 Gbit fibre channel interfaces.

The Safetape™ range utilises the same encryption electronics used in the Paranoia2 familiy allied with a built in tape drive for even easier implementation.

Whether your need is to be able to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, Basle II, Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards, HIPPA 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164; Health Insurance Reform: Security Standards, local national regulations or simply to meet the needs of good practice then these products meet the needs.

Paranoia2 is an in-line hardware encryption appliance for SCSI tape drives. This is the straightforward way to encrypt your data during the backup, designed for ease of use. The encryption is completed using the proprietary dual interlaced encryption, developed specifically for the paranoia family.

ParanoiaFF is an in-line hardware encryption appliance for FC tape drives. This is the straightforward way to encrypt your data during the backup, designed for ease of use. The encryption is completed using the proprietary dual interlaced encryption, developed specifically for the paranoia family.

SafeTape is the complete tape solution with built in dual interlaced encryption, unique to the Paranoia Range. SafeTape works with all host systems and will is available with a selection of LTO and DLT drives, offering SCSI, FC or iSCSI interfaces. You will find the right SafeTape for your environment
