Ensure Complete Data
Security with TapeSentry^®

Crossroads TapeSentry eases the security challenges inherent in tape, offering affordable and fast tape encryption that works with your existing environment. TapeSentry secures data stored on tape from unauthorized access, theft and loss. If tapes are stored offsite, encryption is the only way to protect the data. Even the loss of one tape while in transit can cause data to be compromised, which can result in having to notify customers about the data breach. By encrypting your data on tape, there is no fear of losing data or the trust of clients and partners.

Who Has Time for 'Rip and Replace'?

TapeSentry installs quickly and integrates easily with backup applications, and doesn’t cause backup slowdowns or performance hits to your servers. Implementation doesn’t require costly infrastructure updates or 'add on' costs. TapeSentry provides easy configuration of any port, host access or device connectivity. Encryption policies are flexible - not drive or device dependent, so it doesn’t matter if your backup environment changes. Administration and management of TapeSentry is provided via an intuitive, secure Web-based management interface, providing centralized key management across your enterprise.

Who Should Have Access to Your Data?

Secure, comprehensive key management is required for a distributed enterprise encryption infrastructure, and TapeSentry supports all phases of the key life cycle ranging from key generation and distribution to key archiving, recovery and deletion. TapeSentry offers complete multi-site key replication and automatic backup/recovery to alleviate fear of data loss. Using policy-based access limitations based upon the type of data being encrypted, TapeSentry provides maximum security against data loss, secure sharing of data and quick data access by authorized users for disaster recovery.

“TapeSentry was chosen because of cost and convenience. Client-side tape encryption was hitting some of the servers too much, and I didn’t care for that. I wanted something in-line that wasn’t going to impact the speed of my backups - TapeSentry does what I need.””
