What is Zero Trust File Sharing
& Why Learn About it?
The advent of cloud service technologies, remote access applications, and the vanishing network edge have exposed vulnerabilities in perimeter-based IT security models. The Zero Trust framework, based on a system of least privilege, offers a more resilient, flexible approach that enforces identity authentication, regardless of where or how the request for access is derived.
Zero Trust File Sharing in FileCloud enables users to collaborate securely, not just with other employees, but also with external partners, vendors, and clients. This functionality goes beyond modulating share permissions or setting Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules. Zero Trust File Sharing is increasingly required for businesses and organizations that work with sensitive or protected data, including Confidential Unclassified Information (CUI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Zero Trust File Sharing℠ also supports compliance with federal and global information security regulations as well as organization-wide cybersecurity policies that mandate limited access to sensitive data.
