I am unaware of any easy ways to accomplish this type of thing utilising traditional file sharing services and so I may be missing some ways to manage standard SMB shares so that it's more user-friendly and reliable. Now, most of my personal experience with FileSharing and file security relate to our Distribution Points and so I am nowhere near being an expert in this field. While advertising some pretty neat file collaboration features. While both companies will sign BAAs (or rather HIPPA BAs) only Box will let you manage your encryption keys. Here in IT we love our Dropbox Business account but are looking into things like Box because they'll let you manage your own encryption keys. To help alleviate these issues we've moved all of our non-sensitive documents and files to GAFE (in more of a managed manner than that implies), are moving all HR related files to our HR management system, will be moving archival financial documentation to a properly secured Document management system that we are still evaluating, but we need to find the best solution to manage, share and maintain secured working files which may contain PII, PHI or other sensitive business information.īecause we've found good secure ways to handle MOST of our documents there are only a small number of users (I'm guessing less than 30) with minimal storage needs. They don't like learning which characters they shouldn't use (you know, like and or :), and they really hate having to have IT set directory permissions etc. They don't like being advised to move files to their local drives before beginning to work on them. Now for my issue: Our users are tired of working with our secure SMB file shares. However, you are all my favorite folks to ask for this type of advice and so, here I am. Sookasa brings a powerful encryption protocol to DropBox, as well as other security features. The HSM sits on the user's premises and is deployed within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.This is totally NOT JAMF related. Whereas Syncplicity's new software runs on a customer's own in-house hardware, Box's EKM uses Amazon Web Services' HSM (Hardware Security Module) appliance. They let enterprises apply different access rights per file and per user and even retract access to a shared file, Vijay Ganti, head of product marketing at EMC Syncplicity. The new option works in conjunction with granular rights-management features that Syncplicity announced last year. Syncplicity doesn't have a trusted relationship with the customer storage or rights-management system, so both are beyond the reach of its servers. With it, enterprises can hold both the data and the keys to it within their own walls. Sookasa works with a number of file transfer mechanisms beyond the Dropbox-alikes, including Slack, Zendesk and Salesforce among the public cloud applications for which it provides a layer of encryption. Several smaller companies, including Sookasa, SafeMonk and nCrypted Cloud, specialize in tools for secure cloud-based file-sharing.įor Customer Managed Keys, Syncplicity provides rights-management server software that customers can install on their own hardware. Sookasa is a more enterprise-focused and arguably one of the more popular offerings for business. But due to regulatory and other concerns, some organizations want to maintain control of that encryption themselves. Cloud storage can make it easier for employees and partners to get to enterprise data and share it among themselves on different devices, and cloud services already encrypt the data they store.
