Abstract
A system and method for securing data by receiving encrypted data at a security appliance transmitted from a client, wherein at least a portion of the encrypted data is encrypted according to a first encryption protocol, and wherein the encrypted data is transmitted to the security appliance according to a first data transfer protocol. The encrypted data is then decrypted at the security appliance, wherein at least a portion of the decrypted data is re-encrypted according to a second encryption protocol at the security appliance. The re-encrypted data is transmitted from the security appliance to a storage device, wherein the re-encrypted data is transmitted according to a second data transfer protocol that is different than the first data transfer protocol.
