In the modern data center, data no longer resides in a specific location. The storage of data spans across multiple locations and cloud environments. Security best practices ensure that the data is protected. Data is an organization’s most valuable asset, as described by the term “data capital” in the MIT Technology Review.
Defending data presents a unique challenge for organizations in the current security environment, where vulnerabilities are constantly evolving. Also, as new threats develop, administrators must maintain security posture through a continuous security process. The security process evolves as threats change and must constantly adapt to new environments. This document provides requirements for OneFS to meet industry-specific security regulations and other security design considerations.
