Solutions
Data encryption is fundamental to any defense-in-depth strategy whether the goal is to protect sensitive data from unauthorized disclosure or satisfy compliance mandates. Data is the new “gold,” and as value of data grows so does the urgency to protect it.
Thales and Dell Technologies: Working Together to Secure Data – Solution Brief
Dell PowerEdge servers integrate with Thales CipherTrust Manager to mitigate the threat of unauthorized access to encrypted data residing on SED or SDD/HDD drives using Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM). Working with Thales, a leader in global data security, Dell EMC PowerEdge servers offers an integrated, cyber-resilient, design that helps protect customer data-at-rest, within the data center. CipherTrust Manager provides security by storing and managing keys away from the data and the encrypted device, providing strong data security even if the server is compromised or stolen. The solution can be configured to hold the private keys offshore, preventing domestic authorities from seizing these keys and accessing critical private data.
Offered as part of Dell OpenManage Secure Enterprise Key Manager, Thales CipherTrust Manager simplifies and centralizes encryption key policies and management, and helps meet global compliance, security, and privacy standards.

Dell EMC Storage SC Series arrays offer unique advantages for modern workloads, including All-Flash models, Efficiency and Data Reduction Services, Live Volume, Federation, and more. The latest innovations offer dynamic mobility and the best economics. Through the use of self-encrypting drives, data stored at rest is secure wherever it resides and is only available to authorized users.
Data-at-Rest Encryption and Key Management with VMAX and KeySecure The VMAX and KeySecure integration
The integration of Thales’s SafeNet KeySecure external key management appliance with VMAX storage platforms offers customers a comprehensive key management and data encryption platform providing the following advantages:
- Leverages OASIS standard KMIP-based external key management protocol
- Features centralized key management and auditing for security compliance objectives
- Is a highly-available and resilient environment for long-term key storage external to the VMAX storage platform
- Is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 capability using KeySecure with HSMs
- Ability to temporarily decommission VMAX storage platform for secure transport by storing keys in SafeNet KeySecure
Each VMAX storage platform with the Data-at-Rest Encryption feature can be configured to connect to one or more KeySecure appliances at a customer’s data center. It is recommended that at least two KeySecure appliances are configured in a cluster for high-availability. There is no encryption key dependency between VMAX storage platforms, so independent KeySecure appliances/clusters can be configured at each site.
Dell EMC’s interoperability validation matrix maintains the most up-to-date list of VMAX-supported versions of Thales SafeNet KeySecure.
