Encryption security questions to consider

Before considering encryption security, the following questions should be asked.

The answers depend upon your particular encryption needs as follows:

  • How do I choose the best encryption?

  • Why would I use encryption security?

  • What protection do I need from possible inside attacks?

  • What protection do I need from possible outside attacks?

  • What are the specific areas of NetBackup that encryption security protects?

  • Do I need to create drawings of NetBackup architecture showing encryption security at work?

  • What are my deployment use cases for encryption security?
