Mission & Charter
The mission of the Security TWG is to provide a focus for defining methods of increasing the security of both information residing within, or transiting through, storage networks and information related to the management of those storage networks.
The Security TWG charter indicates that the TWG will:
- define requirements for storage network security in collaboration with other groups;
- define a set of terminology for storage network security for use throughout the SNIA;
- support other groups in the SNIA creating educational material appropriate to security in storage networks;
- create architectures, interfaces, and practices that make optimal use of existing security technologies in a storage network;
- create, or stimulate creation of, new information security technologies where nothing exists that meets the requirements for use in a storage network.
