Educational programs are a central focus of the Storage Security Industry Forum. We trust that our work on storage security best practices, SNIA tutorials on a wide range of storage and security topics, end user and channel education through SSIF Storage Security Summits, and technical activities to advance standards will help to communicate SNIA and SSIF member expertise in data/information security and enhance security in the storage industry.
