Securing an NVMe-oF IP Fabric

Abstract

Storage Area Networks (SANs) are usually used to access the most critical data of an organization, therefore ensuring their security is of paramount importance. This presentation will introduce the general SAN security threats and the methods (authentication and secure channel) to mitigate them. It will also present the authentication protocol and secure channel specifications that have been defined for NVMe-oF over IP fabrics, with special attention to the NVMe/TCP case.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand security threats to Storage Area Networks
  • Understand NVMe-oF threat mitigation
  • Understand Authentication for NVMe-oF
  • Understand how to secure channels with NVMe/TCP
