| Description | ||||
| Operating systems handling data requiring "data at rest" protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification of the information at rest. Selection of a cryptographic mechanism is based on the need to protect the integrity of organizational information. The strength of the mechanism is commensurate with the security category and/or classification of the information. Organizations have the flexibility to either encrypt all information on storage devices (i.e., full disk encryption) or encrypt specific data structures (e.g., files, records, or fields). | ||||

Check Text (C-237973r649759_chk)
Determine if IBM's DS8000 Disks are in use.
If they are not in use for systems that require "data at rest", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-41142r649758_fix)
Employ IBM's DS8000 hardware to ensure full disk encryption.
