2.4.1 Feature introduction OneFS 8.1.1 and above provide SMB encryption to secure access to data over untrusted networks by providing over the wire encryption between the client and PowerScale cluster. It is an on-wire data encryption which prevents an attacker from tampering with any data packet in transit without needing an extra infrastructure.
SMB encryption can be used by any clients which support SMB3 encryption from Windows Server 2012, 2012R2, 2016, Windows Client 8, and Windows 10 and does not require any extra infrastructure management. PowerScale can also be configured to allow accepting or rejecting the old clients that lack the SMB encryption support access.
