Atempo Time Navigator Security and Compliance Manager (SCM) helps users meet
increasingly stringent regulatory requirements by providing robust data protection at all
stages of data backup and reliable long-term archive functionality. The application includes
the following features: Advanced File Encryption/Decryption Utilizing public-key
cryptography and a wide range of strong and certified ciphers, data is encrypted throughout
the data lifecycle before it leaves the primary storage and remains encrypted while it is stored
on the storage media. Whether it resides on disk or tape, it is impossible for an unauthorized
party to read the data.

| Advanced Network Encryption/Decryption |
With more than 50% of security attacks occurring on private networks, it is imperative to
build a secure tunnel to ensure that the valuable digital assets cannot be read while
transferred from one storage media to the other. |
| |
| Digital Signatures |
Using digital signatures can help keep data intact. Using one-way hashing, both the information
to backup and the digital signature is sent over the network. When the backup and archive data
reaches its destination, a new hash is created from the original data and compared with the
original hash to ensure the information has not been altered. A similar approach is used to
guarantee non-repudiation of long-term archives for compliance and litigation purposes. |
| |
| Hierarchical Key Management |
An integrated hierarchical certificate infrastructure prevents impersonation and ensures that
the information backed-up or recovered has been sent by a trusted computer. The same
mechanism is also used to ensure that only authorized users recover data they are allowed to
access. |
| |
| Compliance Policy Enforcement |
Different data has different importance and consequently different compliance requirements.
It is necessary to match and enforce the recommended encryption and hash algorithms,
retention periods and password lengths to different classes of data. The system needs to have
the flexibility to apply different levels of security, depending on the value of the
protected information. |
| |
| Deep integration with the backup and archive classes |
The key advantage of Time Navigator SCM is that all the security features described are
directly applied to the classes of data created when the backup environment is configured.
This gives users the flexibility to apply different levels of security, depending on the value
of the protected information, and introduces the notion of a secure backup.
|
| |
| Audit Trails |
All the regulations in place today require detailed audit trails about the activity of the
regulated information. When a set of data has been selected in a backup class and a
security rule is associated to it, Time Navigator SCM records all activity and stores it as
a secure file, which is accessible for possible audits. |
