nCrypted
Cloud, LLC, a cloud privacy company that brings privacy to data stored
on cloud storage providers such as Dropbox,
GoogleDrive and SkyDrive,
announced its free nCrypted Cloud service.
Nick Stamos, CEO and co-founder of nCrypted
Cloud, along with Igor Odnovorov, his co-founder, have over twenty years each
in enterprise security and are bringing that expertise to the consumer market.
"We make Dropbox better. The privacy
assurance that nCrypted Cloud provides consumers enables many use cases,"
says Stamos. "The Private Camera
allows everyone from soccer moms/dads to seasoned travelers to create a Private
Wallet in the cloud."
The Private Camera feature of nCrypted
Cloud is used to securely capture and encrypt images of all of their Personal
Identifiable Information (PII) such as credit cards, medical insurance cards
and more, typically carried in wallets or purses.
"Casual
users of cloud storage have been weary of storing their personal or sensitive
information in the cloud but now they can do this with confidence due to the
patent-pending technology developed by nCrypted Cloud," says Odnovorov.
"Seasoned travelers can also take
advantage of the Private Camera to store encrypted images of their passports,
visas and other sensitive data in the cloud. With nCryptedCloud, a lost or
stolen credit card is still available to the user for easy cancelling or
replacing or even continuing to be able to purchase goods and services over the
phone and over the Internet."
nCrypted Cloud addresses the privacy risks
that arise from data in the cloud. More and more people want to place
everything in the cloud, but intuitively know the lack of adequate protection
of their privacy; this makes users very nervous about storing sensitive data in
the cloud. With client side encryption users can collaborate with others and
they can rest easy because their information within nCrypted Cloud is safe and
secure.
On the other hand, we are witness to the
rise in risqué content floating around mobile devices. This past Valentine’s
Day, 36% of Americans said they planned to share a salacious photo with their
partner over text message, e-mail or social network, according to a new
romance-themed survey from security company McAfee. With nCrypted Cloud’s new
Private Camera feature, users can be assured of the privacy of their
sensitive data including pictures. Think Snapchat but better.
"Consumers have no excuse for
not protecting their sensitive information," says Laura Didio, principal
analyst for ITIC.
