Broadcom offers adapters with secure data encryption

Broadcom, a leader in semiconductors and networking equipment, has launched its latest innovation: the Emulex Secure Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). These advanced adapters are designed to secure the data traveling between servers and storage, providing an extra layer of protection against potential cyber threats. According to Broadcom, the Emulex HBAs are not just secure, but also highly effective at preventing ransomware attacks, thanks to their ability to encrypt data while in transit.

Storage servers have long been a target for cyberattacks, primarily because they are vulnerable to sophisticated malware and other malicious threats, especially when data is being transmitted. Broadcom’s Emulex Secure HBAs are aimed at addressing these concerns by offering a cost-effective and easy-to-manage solution for businesses that need to safeguard their data. The devices are fully compliant with the United States Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 2.0 as well as the European Union’s Network and Information Security (NIS) directives, ensuring they meet high security standards.

One of the standout features of these Emulex HBAs is their seamless integration into zero-trust architectures. They leverage post-quantum cryptographic encryption algorithms, which means the data passing through these adapters is protected against future threats posed by advanced AI technologies and the emerging capabilities of quantum computing. This is a forward-thinking measure, as quantum computing has the potential to disrupt traditional encryption methods.

Beyond robust encryption, the Emulex Secure HBAs offer several additional benefits, such as application and network-based encryption, which enhance overall data security. Features like deduplication and compression are also made possible, helping optimize storage efficiency. Furthermore, these adapters are equipped with early detection capabilities for ransomware attacks, allowing businesses to respond quickly and mitigate damage.

Another significant advantage of these new HBAs is that they can encrypt in-flight SAN data without requiring an upgrade to existing Fibre Channel infrastructure. This means that businesses can implement this new solution without the need for costly hardware overhauls, making it a highly cost-effective choice.

Broadcom has made the Emulex Secure Fibre Channel HBAs available for immediate shipment. Orders can be placed through their official website, allowing businesses to quickly take advantage of these cutting-edge security solutions to protect their critical data.
