NetApp offers both software- and hardware-based encryption technologies for ensuring that data at rest cannot be read if the storage medium is repurposed, returned, misplaced, or stolen.

  • Software-based encryption using NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) supports data encryption one volume at a time

  • Hardware-based encryption using NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) supports full-disk encryption (FDE) of data as it is written.
