Secure Cloud Storage for Enterprises
Cloud security can take many forms and often times, involves many strategies, tools, and technologies layered on top of one another, effectively creating security-in-depth. This powerful cybersecurity approach enables enterprises and organizations to deploy cloud storage environments, even when handling sensitive, confidential, or protected data.
Businesses and individuals alike store vast amounts of confidential information, including financial records, intellectual property, and personal data on cloud platforms. However, not all cloud storage providers are created equal — it is important to evaluate providers across security features, governance, and data privacy support. The first step in this evaluation is to examine the data. Identifying and classifying data informs business operations, process flows, and compliance requirements, which all come together to build a comprehensive view of an organization’s secure cloud storage needs.
Secure Cloud Storage: What to Look For
- Encryption: To secure files in the cloud, strong encryption is vital; platforms should utilize AES to encrypt data at rest (in the cloud storage) and TLS protocols to encrypt data in transit.
- Data Privacy: A secure cloud storage service provider should be able to identify, classify, sanitize, and delete data in accord with relevant data privacy regulations to preserve citizen and customer privacy.
- Antivirus Scanning & Malware Protection: The platform should incorporate modern methods of antivirus and malware protection to prevent breaches, data leaks, ransomware, and other cyberattacks.
- Access & Authentication Controls: The cloud environment should have mechanisms available to enforce specific access controls, blocking unauthorized users from gaining entry to the cloud environment or from accessing restricted datasets. “Authorized” users should also need to authenticate their identity before interacting with data.
- Granular Permissions: Even authorized users should have limits on the data they are able to access; granular permissions enforces a Zero Trust strategy of least privilege, ensuring that users can only view and interact with the data they need.
- Secure Collaboration & External File Sharing: The organization should be able to leverage file sharing routes both internally and externally that provide another layer of security controls for information in motion.
- Audit Logs & Reports: The secure cloud environment should empower admins with the ability to track all activity in comprehensive logs for internal management and external audit requirements.
FileCloud is the Secure Cloud Storage Organizations Need
FileCloud provides hyper-secure cloud architecture for storage, sharing, sync, and remote access. Data is at the center of the FileCloud Content Model, with powerful tools and settings that administrators and end-users can leverage to achieve enterprise-grade security-in-depth.
Secure Cloud Storage & Remote Access
Organizations have flexibility with FileCloud to set up the secure cloud storage they need. Whether that’s through self-hosting FileCloud Server in a private cloud or through a provider like AWS or Oracle or even opting for FileCloud Online, where we host the environment in one of our world-class data centers, the client has the ability to choose the architecture that best meets their security and data sovereignty requirements. FileCloud integrates extensive structures to enable secure cloud storage with dynamic administrative control, data governance, and functional collaboration.
Built-in Security & Administrative Control
Admins have powerful capabilities to configure security features in FileCloud. These features include encryption for data at rest and in transit, data visibility and privacy settings, antivirus and malware protection, role based access controls (RBAC) and file access policies (user, group, global), authentication integrations (including Active Directory, SSO, and 2FA), and an admin dashboard for streamlined management. The dashboard provides an easy way to access comprehensive audit logs. Additionally, admins can enable pre-built reports for environment monitoring or build custom reports to meet unique business needs.
Functional Collaboration
FileCloud also provides secure channels for internal collaboration and external file sharing. Users can share files internally with other users, groups, and the organization at large (global share), applying granular file permissions (read, write, share, delete, manage). Users can also extend file sharing beyond the environment while maintaining security controls, through the option of private (password-protected) and public share links, share expiration dates, and download limits. This external file sharing facilitates collaboration with end-clients, vendors, contractors, and stakeholders outside the organization.
