Covata USA, Inc. announced the availability of Safe Share, enabling organizations to leverage the business and operational advantages of cloud content management by protecting data wherever it resides.

It works independently of cloud storage providers and ensures that the keys and access controls remain in exclusive control of the organization.

It guides users through the process of selecting a file to protect, identifying authorized collaborators, and defining the access controls that identify the conditions under which the file can be accessed. These access controls are persistent and adaptive, enabling the originator to revoke access to any protected file at any time or change the access controls to adjust to evolving circumstances and requirements. It records all access requests to decrypt the data, providing an audit trail of who accessed the protected data, when and how many times.

Compatible with Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive, AWS and S3 compatible cloud storage such as Basho Riak CS, which is the default object store. It’s powered by the Covata platform, and leverages its scale and flexibility. Organizations can choose to store the keys, metadata and access control on premises, ensuring the cloud storage provider cannot view the encrypted data or provide the keys to a third party without the organization’s knowledge or consent.

Sharing data via cloud content management offers organizations business and operational benefits, but also carries real risks. This solution is purpose built to deliver the ubiquity and protection to mitigate those risks. For example, combining it with a private cloud implemented with HA storage like Riak CS creates a corporate dropbox capability that addresses security, privacy and regulatory concerns.

As adoption of cloud storage continues to accelerate, organizations are looking for a solution that addresses the risk of data leakage and loss,” said Charles Archer, executive chairman and CEO, Covata. “Safe Share enables organizations to protect data at the point of origination, control the data after it has been shared and see all access activity. With Safe Share, organizations have the confidence to reap the cost savings and flexibility of cloud storage and the business benefits of data sharing and collaboration.

Available and operates as a browser-based web application, as a Windows application and on iOS devices.
