Encrypt Stored Data

Encrypting your stored data prevents intruders from accessing sensitive information by reading the blob files directly. This is especially important on the CMS where the blob files contain captured e-mail and Web data for the whole enterprise.

The data store on each CA DataMinder machine incorporates 'blob' (Binary Large Object) files, containing policy data and, on the CMS and gateways, captured Web and e-mail data (on client machines, blob files containing captured data are not encrypted).

Machine policy settings enable you to optionally encrypt these blob files with a local encryption key. You can also manually change the master key used to encrypt the local encryption keys.
