In a digital landscape where a single vulnerability can bring down a brand, Pure Storage provides a comprehensive overview of its defense-in-depth security program. This packet details how the “Security by Design” principle is integrated into the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), using frameworks such as STRIDE for threat modeling and mandatory peer code reviews. Beyond standard protocols, it addresses modern challenges like AI Governance, ensuring that enterprise data used in generative AI tools remains within controlled environments and is never used to train external models.

Data leaders should review this asset to gain a clear understanding of the independent validations supporting these security claims. From FIPS 140-3 cryptographic modules to ISO 27001:2022 certifications and SOC 2 Type II reports, the document provides the technical proof required for compliance in highly regulated sectors. It is a critical resource for those who need to verify that their storage infrastructure meets the highest standards for data-at-rest encryption and identity management.

• Hardware level validation: Features the FIPS 140-3 Certificate 4937 for the Purity Encryption Module, which enables always-on, inline encryption.
• Rigorous software standards: Adheres to the NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SP 800-218) and provides M-22-18 attestations for federal compliance.
• Proactive risk management: Operates a 24/7/365 Incident Response Program following the NIST 800-61 guide to detect and mitigate threats in real time.
• Infrastructure hardening: Enforces strict system hardening by disabling unused services and using firewalls to minimize the attack surface.
