Immutability, network-layer cybersecurity, and strict data-privacy controls form a multi-layer defense that prevents tampering, blocks intrusion, and protects sensitive information. QSAN’s data-security foundation ensures integrity, confidentiality, and resilience against modern threats.
Data security is a critical pillar of modern data governance, ensuring that information remains trustworthy,
protected, and compliant throughout its lifecycle. By enforcing immutability, strengthening cybersecurity
defenses, and safeguarding data privacy, organizations can build a secure foundation that supports reliable
operations and long-term governance strategies.
QSAN QSeal strengthens ransomware protection with a pull-based Air Gap architecture, retrieving backup data only during scheduled tasks and isolating the backup environment when idle. This reduces network exposure and helps safeguard backup copies for recovery. Write Once Read Many (WORM) adds data immutability by preventing changes or deletion during the configured retention period.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step to supported account logins, helping reduce unauthorized access if a password is exposed. QSAN’s Authentication (QAuth) provides user and group permission controls, allowing IT administrators to manage access to system settings and storage operations. These safeguards strengthen account security and storage access control.
Sensitive information needs protection both while stored and during transfer. QSAN Pool Encryption provides software-based encryption for storage pools, while self-encrypting drives (SEDs) provide hardware-based encryption at the drive level. These options help protect data at rest and reduce the risk of exposure if drives are lost or stolen. For data in transit, QSAN supports SFTP over SSH to encrypt file transfers, helping protect sensitive files from interception and tampering while supporting secure collaboration between teams and business partners.
