7.9 Intel SafeStore Encryption Services
Intel SafeStore Encryption Services can encrypt data on the drives and use the drive-based
key management to provide data security. This solution protects data in the event of theft
or loss of physical drives. If you remove a self-encrypting drive from its storage system or
the server in which it resides, the data on that drive is encrypted, and becomes useless to
anyone who attempts to access it without the appropriate security authorization.
