This section outlines the specific security mechanisms offered by the product.
Currently, all products in the T10000 family communicate on a secure channel to the Oracle Key Management System. Eventually, all products in the T10000 family will adhere to the SSH and SFTP security requirement. These should not be the only line of security to protect the Tape Drive. Ideally, the Tape Drives should be in a physically secured data center that also has a secured network that only allows access from the servers utilizing its functionality. These servers and applications running on them should also be secured. In addition, the customer has the option to elevate the security of the tape drive to yet another level. That level would be either to Encrypt their data and/or enable the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) mode. The T10000 family of tape drives are FIPS compliant. See table below for supported levels. The link to the FIPS home page is:
