Storage encryption vendor Decru Inc. introduced its DataFort 2.0 platform that includes storage VPN features for secure Web-based file access, transparent re-keying for network attached storage, and hardware accelerated compression for tape encryption.

DataFort 2.0 is available for network attached storage (NAS) and direct attached storage (DAS); for SAN/tape environments; and for tape-only environments. The new release deals with stored data behind firewalls or stored offsite where unauthorized internal access is the biggest threat. The software runs on the vendor's encryption appliances for the three storage environments.
