More security for storage
It might be a coincidence, but since the reports of the colossal credit-card data theft at CardSystems Solutions Inc. last week, a slew of companies have been pushing data storage protection products.
Marketers must be gleeful at NetApp, where the company announced in the same week as the MasterCard caper that it was acquiring data encryption company Decru. Just today, Seagate Technologies said it is prepping a security technology that will protect the data on your notebook PC if it gets stolen.
But there have been plenty of other breaches and flukes of fate that have kept data security in the news, so it’s not as though any quick thinking marketer had to work very hard. For data security vendors, these incidents, including those at ChoicePoint, Time Warner and others are like picking low-hanging fruit.
