Advanced Security Features
- Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP): This feature provides encryption and authentication of data transmitted over the Fibre Channel network. It uses advanced encryption algorithms to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data.
- Authentication and Access Control: The CK9H1 provides various levels of authentication and access control to ensure that only authorized users have access to the data. It supports both username/password and smart card authentication.
- Firewall Capabilities: The adapter includes firewall capabilities that provide network-level security to prevent unauthorized access. The firewall features a configurable set of rules and can be set up to deny access to specific IP addresses or to specific services.
- Advanced Logging: The CK9H1 provides advanced logging capabilities to monitor the performance of the Fibre Channel network and to track any potential security incidents. The logging information can be used to identify any potential security threats and to resolve any performance issues.
- Secure Boot: The CK9H1 supports secure boot, which is a process that verifies the authenticity of the adapter’s firmware. This helps prevent unauthorized firmware modifications and reduces the risk of malware infections.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): The CK9H1 provides DLP features that help prevent data loss by monitoring and controlling the transfer of sensitive information. It can detect and prevent the transfer of sensitive data to unauthorized locations and can also enforce data retention policies.
- Intrusion Detection System (IDS): The CK9H1 includes an IDS that monitors network traffic for any potential security incidents. The IDS can detect and alert administrators of any potential security threats, such as malware infections or unauthorized access attempts.
- Virtual Private Network (VPN) Support: The CK9H1 supports VPNs, which provide secure, encrypted communication between remote users and the Fibre Channel network. This feature helps to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, even when transmitted over the public internet.
