What is Vormetric’s DSM?
The DSM is a dedicated virtual appliance in your Armor environment that serves as a centralized hub for managing your persistent file/folder encryption. The DSM is where all of the encryption policies are configured and the encryption keys are managed. The DSM then sends the policies and keys to the corresponding transparent encryption agent installed on the host virtual machines where sensitive data is stored. The agent side then uses those policies to control access and to encrypt the data
How do I access the DSM?
- Connect to your SSL/VPN account.
Open a web browser, and then type https:// followed by the public / front-end IP address of the DSM.

As a result, all administration of the DSM is performed by the customer.
