Minimize Enterprise Data Risks: Integrate FileCloud Microservice with SaaS

Reducing Risks Associated with B2B SaaS Solutions

SaaS adoption continues to rise dramatically, due to the need for business continuity and an increase in hybrid and remote work. With some market analysts estimating that many B2B SaaS solutions will increase subscription-based sales five-fold by 2027, it’s clear that SaaS is here to stay.

Despite its advantages, SaaS comes with various challenges related to security, compliance, and control over enterprise data. Large enterprises struggle to maintain traceability of their unstructured data, which is often dispersed across different repositories. In the absence of a single point of entry for all data, ensuring adherence to basic security and regulatory obligations can seem like an insurmountable task.

Reduce Risk with FileCloud’s Powerful Integration Capabilities

The use of third-party file-sharing solutions, such as Dropbox, comes with inherent risks for enterprises. These solutions are typically used for sharing and collaborating on files containing unstructured data, yet such files often hold highly valuable company intellectual property. Despite this, staff often collaborate by downloading files from a SaaS application, then uploading again to a third-party file-sharing solution, making it impossible for enterprises to track how data is disseminated. This creates attack vectors, increasing the risk of leaks. Third-party file-sharing solutions are also time-consuming, which means they also consume enterprise revenue.

Regulatory Compliance

The fact that data dispersal and an increase in SaaS usage also entails a widening of attack surfaces has resulted in an increase in data privacy and security regulations globally. This is to keep pace with challenges and protect both enterprises and the individuals they serve from privacy violations. However, complying with regulatory demands can be a challenge in and of itself for businesses that have complex infrastructures and heavy demands on time and budgets.

What if you could seamlessly integrate all file-sharing and content collaboration with an existing B2B SaaS solution, with powerful inbuilt compliance capabilities as a part of this scenario? FileCloud provides all the functionality required to do this. Many global enterprises have dispensed with third-party file-sharing solutions in favor of FileCloud, allowing them to collaborate from one location and limiting the needless diffusion of data across multiple applications.

Comprehensive Dashboard to Automate Compliance

FileCloud has a comprehensive compliance dashboard to facilitate fine-grained monitoring of file activity. The Compliance Center ensures easy adherence through mapping of well-known regulations to the FileCloud features that help with adherence, such as:

• Data Leak Prevention (DLP)
• Metadata management
• Automated data retention policies
• Granular access controls
• Detailed audits using What, When, Who and How attributes

Seamless SaaS Integration & Security via Adaptable APIs

FileCloud’s adaptable APIs cover all UI functions. Built on PHP and Apache, they enable easy integration with even complex SaaS platforms. Additionally, they allow you to perform all the same file activities that can be done via the UI. You can also manage storages via API, whether on premises or on the cloud (S3, Azure Files, or Azure Blob).

Vulnerability Management Made Easy

The growth the SaaS market has resulted in a parallel increase in the need for superior security measures within enterprises. Attack surfaces have expanded in tandem with the increase in cyber-criminality, geopolitically motivated cyber-warfare, and other security concerns. For example, Ransomware-as-a-Service is now a black market industry in itself. Despite this, SaaS providers often stipulate in service-level agreements (SLAs) that enterprises are responsible for their own data security. Using FileCloud as a microservice over SaaS solutions provides the safeguards you need for enterprise data, with features such as:

• Zero Trust File Sharing^SM for hyper-security, which even FileCloud admins cannot breach.
• Digital Rights Management to safeguard sensitive data.
• Heuristic content scanning to protect against ransomware
• Multi-tenancy capabilities to segregate data and meet data residency requirements.
• Automation of privacy regulations through a variety of features, such as metadata management and automated retention policies.
• Content classification, version control, and thorough audit and logging of file activity.
• Customization to protect enterprise branding, which is unavailable with other third-party file-sharing solutions (such as Dropbox and Box).
