RAID Technology and the importance of disk encryption in data security

A client faced a potential data leak when a disk was removed from an unencrypted RAID 10 domain controller in a poorly secured warehouse. Investigators imaged the drives and used drive fingerprinting and data-recovery tools to reconstruct data, demonstrating how unencrypted disks can expose sensitive information such as logs and user activity. The report emphasizes combining disk encryption, robust key management, and physical security to mitigate insider risk and protect critical infrastructure.
