Future of Memory and Storage - Day 3 @ 13:45

Can we Trust the Black Box? What it takes to secure an SSD in the AI era

As SSDs and the storage stack become more advanced, attack surfaces morph and grow. Securing data down to the component level, protecting against supply chain, cyber-attacks and physical theft, has long been a concern in the industry. To that end support for AES Encryption and TCG standards are ‘table stakes’ features for SSD controllers to protect your data but changes are emerging on the horizon as the industry seeks to design in security and stay ahead of the evolving landscape of cyber threats. In this talk, we examine these new features and upcoming changes – including Caliptra, changes to AES, supply chain risk mitigations, and how new storage initiatives may extend your threat models.
