Krypdox, Your New Secure File Distribution Solution
As the rise of technology continues, the threat of others getting personal
and sensitive information is not anymore a shadowy threat but an ironclad
reality that can threaten the security of businesses and companies across
the globe. File sharing, while a convenient and popular way to distribute
information, is oftentimes a vulnerable avenue because of the lack of
restrictive parameters in place.
Krypdox, an application from Aysynchrony Mobile Products, is the answer
for people looking for a Dropbox-type application with more security than
the standard TLS system. Instead of a peer-to-peer file sharing system,
Krypdox has adopted an enterprise-to-user system, which enables the
organization or user sharing the information to control what aspects of that
information can be used by the recipient. This is ideal for sensitive
information such as files pertaining to pre-release films, financial reports,
laboratory data, trade secrets and healthcare information. Krypdox’s
proprietary software encrypts not only the key, but the pipe and the packet
as well – all of which are parts of the internal structure of file-sharing
software. Even the most superficial hacker can bypass standard security in
minutes if given the chance. This is only one of the four security risks that
Krypdox addresses in its file-sharing criteria:
Device Theft: One of the easiest ways of obtaining secure data is from a
stolen phone, laptop or tablet, of which millions are taken each year. This is
where Krypdox’s triple encryption comes in: with multiple layers of
security, hackers have a much harder time gaining access to stolen
information. The organization using Krypdox can even revoke access to the
server on a user or device basis. This means if your smartphone is stolen
and you have Krypdox documents on it, your company can immediately
cancel your smartphone’s access to Krypdox, effectively rendering any
secure information unreadable to the user.
User Theft and Circumvention: Throughout the history of file-sharing the
most obvious breaches of security were by authorized users who chose to
share sensitive information with others. Krypdox bypasses this but not
allowing users to export, print, or share any documents that may be in the
Krypdox server. Users can edit documents within Krypdox – but only if the
enterprise sharing the information allows it for that particular user.
Network Hack: Every single piece of data exchanged between a user’s
device and a Krypdox server travels over an encrypted channel with a
mutual authentication lock. This is another precaution to ensure that only
the right user can access the right files, and only with the right keys.
Furthermore, the file packets are encrypted as well, coating the
information in another layer of coded protection.
Server Hack: The distributed architecture of Krypdox keeps all unencrypted
information behind the corporate firewall of the enterprise using the app.
All encrypted sources and documents are stored as cloud data and each
source can only be decrypted and read on specified devices.
Logs on the application also record timestamps and viewing history on
documents, which easily allows the enterprise exactly who views files and
when. With the triple security measures and other protocols in place, it is
three times as hard for would-be hackers to gain access to privileged
information. Even if one layer of encryption fails, there are at least two
more to ensure more decryption doesn’t occur.
Krypdox is easily the next step to a network where information can be
freely shared, yet not so easily given to another party. Its innovations are
exactly what the concept of file-sharing needs to retain its integrity in our
heavily-shared world. Anything we say, post, or comment online is now
locked in some server forever. It’s time we have an unshakeable sense of
security around our sensitive information, and Krypdox is the first step to
being worry-free about your files.
Krypdox is delivered as a turnkey server and application solution that can
run from a commercial cloud such as Amazon AWS. The platform is OS and
device agnostic. The Krypdox for iPad app is available now. Android,
Windows and OS X clients are planned for future release.
