Explanation
Storage area network (SAN) is a dedicated network that provides access to a consolidated, block level data storage. The security of SAN is completely dependent upon the users authentication or authorization. SAN security includes the following concepts: - Host adapter-based security: Security measures for the Fibre Channel host bus adapter can be implemented at the driver level. - Switch zoning: Switch zoning is used in a switch-based Fibre Channel SAN. It refers to the masking of all nodes connected to the switch. - Storage-controller mapping: By mapping all host adapters against LUNs in the storage system, some storage sub-systems accomplish LUN masking in their storage. Answer option D is incorrect, IDS is not implemented for the security of a SAN.
