Abstract:

Many large companies have had data breaches in the last couple of
years.  I will go through the issues and regulations that are
requiring companies to encrypt data to ensure the privacy of their
employees and customers.

Decru provides a solution that allows companies to encrypt data (tape
and disk) without impacting the performance of their current
environment.  These issues include:

1.  Performance
2.  Media Size
3.  Changes to infrastructure

Decru compresses and encrypts data at line speed.  We work with
existing infrastructure, so no changes are needed to implement.

Speaker Bio:

John Lavelle graduated in 1991 from UCLA with a degree in Mathematics
and Computer Science.  John has spent over 15 years in engineering and
