Secure File Access, Sharing, and Sync Platform for Banks and Financial Institutions

The ways in which consumers and businesses manage their finances have radically changed over the past few years. At the same time, cyberthreats have only become more sophisticated. This means banks must provide more services and flexibility to their consumers, while also ensuring robust protections for data (and money). Online banking is a major example of this flexibility-security dynamic. Clients can manage their money without leaving their homes, and employees can work with greater dexterity. However, these points of access can become potential targets for exploitation without adequate protection.

Smart Security Features Protect User Data

Verifying identity through Two-Factor Authentication is a simple yet effective measure to ensure data is secure. FileCloud makes enabling this feature easy through the admin portal. One of the more advanced security features includes Data Leak Protection (DLP) and the Content Classification Engine (CCE). These features enable users to set up metadata that automatically classifies and protects data. Metadata is related to data that provides additional information about files and folders available in FileCloud. Admins can define sets of attributes that might be later associated with specific File Objects. CCE applies distinct protections to data based on the metadata attributes, which limit how other users interact with files and folders, thus preventing end-user data leaks. With FileCloud, one can rest assured that corporate data is well protected in company servers and on employee devices.

FileCloud Meets File Sharing Requirements for Banking Industry

FileCloud ensures secure, on-premise file access, without relying on a VPN. Secure file sharing, detailed file audits for data compliance, DLP, endpoint protection, and data backups are only a few of the many security features offered. The solution also incorporates network share access, integration with Active Directory, and maintenance of NTFS file permissions. Within the software, teams can take advantage of network drives, file locking, and unlimited file versioning for easier, remote collaboration.

Compliance with Global Data Regulations

FileCloud recognizes the importance of data sovereignty with emerging global regulations, including GDPR. Since the enterprise solution can be self-hosted, clients can rest assured knowing that their data is stored exactly where they want it. The Audit features ensure users can manage, restrict, and review the flow of data at will.

Enterprise Record Management

FileCloud supports the needs of banks and other financial institutions through its records management platform. This platform efficiently manages records throughout their lifecycle, from creation and distribution to deletion. Document files, emails, digital documents, photos, audio recordings, contracts, images, and videos can all be captured by the platform and evaluated for sensitive data. The platform can also automatically retain necessary data as records and fetch at request for internal processes or legal proceedings. Retention policies can also be leveraged to ensure no data is lost, even when users or admins change.

Integration and Extensibility

FileCloud makes it easy to incorporate the enterprise file sharing and storage solution into an existing banking platform by carrying over network files and folder permissions through an Active Directory (AD).  FileCloud also supports third-party integrations with functional apps like Gmail, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 for secure, seamless productivity.

Secure Customer and Employee Portal Access

System admins can integrate FileCloud’s system alerts and auditing with external SIEM systems to cover all alerts and potential security issues in one place. Login options are safeguarded for customers and employees alike through SAML SSO and Active Directories, respectfully.

Branding Options to Create and Maintain a Digital Setting

Bank employees and clients can contribute to better security if they can easily recognize the digital boundaries of the institution. FileCloud’s customization and branding options make it so that file storage and sharing can visually merge with other platforms managed by the bank. With on-premise hosting and branding updates, FileCloud becomes one functional aspect within the bank, to promote client and employee confidence.
