Abstract
Storage security changes and adaptations are a fact of life to deal with the ever-changing threat and regulatory landscapes. A black swan event, new standard, or regulation often serve as catalysts for organizations to review their controls and practices. The recent publication of the NIST Special Publication 800-88 Rev. 2 Guidelines for Media Sanitization is drawing attention to storage security, but it is not the only development worth noting. SNIA, the Open Compute Project (OCP), Trusted Computing Group (TCG), and IEEE have or are developing standards and specifications that could be important going forward. One major theme underlying several of the activities is in storage sanitization (i.e., controlled eradication of data).
This session brings together a unique panel of experts who have served as editors of some of the most important storage sanitization standards. These experts also have broad knowledge of storage security. As a panel, they will provide insight into these new developments as well as observations on what organizations are experiencing.
