Fibre Channel has long been known to be a very secure protocol for storage. The sheer variety of environments in which Fibre Channel fabrics are deployed makes it very difficult to simply rely only on physical security.
This webcast takes a deep into the guts of security aspects of Fibre Channel, looking closely at the protocols used to implement security in a Fibre Channel fabric, covering:
The definitions of the protocols to authenticate Fibre Channel devices
What are the different classes of threats, and what are the mechanisms to protect against them
What are session keys and how to set them up
How Fibre Channel negotiates these parameters to insure frame-by-frame integrity and confidentiality
How Fibre Channel establishes and distributes policies across a fabric
