1. Data security, even on storage platforms, has long been a concern of government entities concerned with intelligence gathering and defense planning. Certain businesses that are dependent upon intellectual property and trade secrets have also been applying security concepts to storage for many years . It is only been since the rise of the Internet and of networked storage that the subject has resonated with the general population and with businesses in all industry segments.
