Data security is becoming an increasingly lucrative target for cyber criminals. Worldwide revenue for data theft is estimated to be approaching $1 trillion per year. Storage vendors including Seagate have invested heavily in data security from secure supply chain, to securing data at rest to end of life solutions like instant secure erase. These are all based on industry and government standards and best practices.
Collaboration with OCP Security efforts by device makers is essential to a full defense-in-depth data security strategy that defends against the possibility of malware or defects from privileged device related firmware and software.
