Trusted Computing Group

TCG recently posted a new case study from member Juniper Networks. This one is interesting because it addresses a core problem many enterprises increasingly face: how to ensure network security while allowing tens of thousands of individual devices to connect.

When the leading storage vendors got together in Trusted Computing Group several years ago to talk about how to create a standard way to protect data, they probably envisioned a world in which lost laptops or drives would not create major news, incur giant fines or trigger massive legislation. Fortunately, that world is a reality, thanks to the hard work of the pioneers of self-encrypting drives. While some not-so-forward thinking organizations still struggle with data protection, there is no excuse NOT to protect data in hardware anymore.

What started as a small, informal gathering of self-professed storage geeks propelled by analyst Tom Coughlin now has morphed into an officially sanctioned gathering of some 500 storage vendors, industry watchers and integrators, IT managers and retail buyers: Storage Visions 2012 is coming!

TCG and its TNC work group, along with the NSA, were honored for their work on integrating the TNC and SCAP standards and demonstrating the value of this integration.

Security Stockwatch, a widely read site focused on financial and business issues, recently talked with TCG's president and chairman, Joerg Borchert.
