Identifying security profiles associated with access protocols of secondary storage

Abstract:

For migrating data to a remote data repository based on the security protocol capabilities of the remote data repository, a storage module identifies a security profile of a file residing in an on-premise data repository, where the security profile comprises security protocol requirements, matches the identified security profile with an entry in a list of one or more remote data repository providers, each entry comprising a security protocol capability of a corresponding remote data repository provider, and migrates, in response to finding a match of the identified security profile and the identified security protocol capability, the file to the matched remote data repository provider.
