SECURING FIBRE CHANNEL FABRICS - Brocade

Standards Bodies andOther OrganizationsBFCIAThe Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) is a mutual-benefit, nonprofitinternational organization of manufacturers, system integrators,developers, vendors, industry professionals, and end users. The FCIAis committed to delivering a broad base of Fibre Channel infrastructuretechnology to support a wide array of applications in the mass storageand IT-based arenas. FCIA working groups and committees focus onspecific aspects of the technology, targeting both vertical and horizontalmarkets and including data storage, video, networking, and SANmanagement.The FCIA is also responsible for managing events such as interoperabilitytesting, such as “plug-tests” held at the University of NewHampshire and Fibre Channel Technology demonstrations at industryevents such as SNW (Storage Networking World).For more information, visit the FCIA Web site at:http://www.fibrechannel.orgIEEEThe Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) has a widevariety of standards developed in relation to security. The IEEE 1619Security in Storage Working Group (SISWG) develops standards forencrypting storage media for data-at-rest. SISWG has developed standardsfor disk-drive-based encryption (IEEE 1619) and tape-basedencryption (IEEE 1619.1). SISWG operates as a project under the IEEEComputer Society Information Assurance Standards Committee.For more information on SISWG, visit the SISWG website at:https://siswg.net/Securing Fibre Channel Fabrics 203
