Inc. announced ProviDyn Sync, a cloud-based file storage that
will allow its clients to access files at home, in the office or on
any mobile device, including iOS and Android devices.
Collaboration is important in today’s
mobile workforce, along with accessing and syncing documents between
devices such as laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. While
there are consumer cloud products available, they are hosted
publicly, meaning that everyone shares the same encryption key, which
can be a problem for a business. If that encryption key is
compromised, all of businesses’ documents, their clients’ documents
and any of the user’s personal documents are vulnerable.
With this service clients are provided
with an encryption key that is exclusive to their business and
documents, and not shared with anyone.
ProviDyn Sync offers:
- Universal file access; sync
across stationary and mobile devices: Eliminates dependency on FTPs,
VPNs, or file servers.
- 448-bit Blowfish encryption
on-device and in-transit: Offers high level of security for
any cloud platform, ensuring that documents are safe from hacking and
breaches.
- Private encryption key management:
Eliminates the need to worry about data loss.
- Remote wipes of endpoints and mobile
devices: Allows clients to perform remote wipes of desktops for
clients, former employees and rogue employees.
- Custom deleted file retention
periods: Enables clients to extend or shorten deleted file
retention periods and never lose a file again.
- User-access and security
controls: Allows for policies to be set for individuals within a
company, including which employees can share files, can delete files
and revisions, can access certain files, and what types of files they
can upload.
- Revised file backup: Stores file
revisions, which allows employees to collaborate.
- File sharing for
internal/external parties: Allows for sharing files with external
parties through the web-service and unique web addresses. It allows
companies to monitor the files shared within the company and
externally.
- Multiple folder backup: Syncs
all different file types, including the ability to backup entire
folders and the files within them.
"Many of our clients start out
with one of the more popular consumer options for file access,
sharing and syncing, but soon realize these products are not secure
or robust enough to meet their needs," said Hamish Davidson,
president and CEO of ProviDyn. "We are looking forward to
bringing the benefits of cloud based file storage with the added
security and features required for businesses to run more
efficiently."
