Storage Made Easy Enhances Security

Storage Made Easy (SME), a trading name of Vehera Ltd, added further security and governance features to their Enterprise File Share and Sync (EFSS) solution.

New security features added include:

• File share policies: File sharing policies have been enhanced to allow the administrator to restrict the number of times a file can be downloaded when a link is shared externally by users. This is in addition to existing file sharing policy control features that provide control over time expiry and whether a password should be used for the shared link.
• Shared link manager: The cloud administrator has a single place to view and manage shared links for all users.
• Folder permissions: Folder permissions have been enhanced to provide greater granularity and include folder creation permissions and upload access.
• Role enhancements: Roles have been enhanced to be more granular and encompass a range of options that can be granted to users within a role.
• File versioning: File versioning has been enhanced so that versions can be limited to a certain number and auto-deleted if that number is exceeded.
• Auto locking: MS office files edited from the cloud drive are locked and unlocked on demand.
  

All options work against any private or public clouds that are added to the SME solution and encompass solutions such as Office 365, Google Apps, Amazon S3, OpenStack, Google Storage, and Azure. In total more than 50 connectors are supported.

Jim Liddle, Storage Made Easy CEO said: “Having control over business information is often treated on a case by case basis due to the siloed nature of current market solutions. The Storage Made EFSS solution is storage agnostic and works in a way that encompasses all data points that are used by small or large companies.

“It is a facilitator for augmenting what can be missing in deployed solutions. This can security, but it can also be desktop integrated access from the cloud drive, compliance auditing, aggregated content search, or access over common protocols such as FTP or WebDav. The SME solution focuses on aggregation, unification and adding value.“

Enhancements are available on the SME SaaS site and will be available to enterprise and ISP customers in the forthcoming updated SME Appliance due for release at the beginning of May.
