[FDE] full disk encryption for NAS

[Naveen Mamindlapalli]

Hi Saqib,

Thanks for the reply.I have a confusion whether to use
file encryption (or) disk encryption incase of NAS box
because the data over network is in clear-text when
the clients are accessing the NAS box.So in that case
file encryption will be useful.But incase of physical
security like theft it is better to use disk
encryption.

I have googled about this and no where I found the
correct answer.Is it better to use both types of
encryption at a time. Then the burden will be more in
encrypting & decrypting twice the data file level & at
disk level.

Is there any alternate technique to protect the NAS
box  form both physical & network attacks.

Thanks 
Naveen
