As part of our security layering, we are investigating the encryption of certain portions of sensitive data on our NetApp (and I guess non-Netapp) storage.
Is anybody doing this on an enterprise scale and can recommend products?
We have found a few products like "Cryptainer" that take a set folder structure and encrypt it to look like a file or "hard shell" to anyone that just views it via a standard CIFS/NFS connection. The CIFS client runs an application that essentially maps to this file as a drive letter via UNC. The user jumps through an authentication hoop (various methods of shared and third-party authentication available) and then views the file as a complete directory/file structure.
Any recommendations regarding this, or any other product? On or off NetApp?
Thanks,
Aaron

have you looked at Decru (www.decru.com) ? They have a hardware appliance that can sit between the client network and the filer and encrypt selected shares/exports. We haven't used them, but may plan to evaluate them pretty soon. -G
