Setting new standards in data safety for both users and admins, ownCloud’s protection system will ensure the best solution for your specific requirements. You\u00a0can opt for<\/span>\u00a0several safety features, which will make you flexible for all safety requirements regarding file sync, share and content collaboration.<\/p>\n

Leading in open-source cloud security<\/h4>\n

How is ownCloud able to ensure the maximum safety for you? The data transfer is protected by ownCloud’s comprehensive encryption<\/a>, which uses up to three layers of safeguards: encryption\u00a0in transit, encryption at rest and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>end<\/span>-to-end encryption (E2EE)<\/span>. The in transit encryption is provided by design and also by default. Applying the newest HTTPS standards, the newest TLS protocols\u00a0are used<\/span>\u00a0in all supported browsers and clients. In fact, in transit encryption is mandatory\u00a0in the<\/span>\u00a0European Union due to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).<\/p>\n

For preventing\u00a0breaches through physical access<\/span>, ownCloud\u00a0encrypts all files before storing them, which means they are encrypted at rest.\u00a0With this setup, only the administrator can decrypt files, because he knows the master key.\u00a0Alternatively, you can opt to encrypt the files at rest using a Hardware Security Module, exluding the system administrator from the ability to decrypt files.\u00a0As you can see,\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0at rest encryption will protect\u00a0you against stolen hardware attack scenarios\u00a0and sets the groundwork\u00a0for a zero trust environment within your organization.<\/p>\n

In case\u00a0of requiring<\/span>\u00a0the highest level of data secrecy and data protection, ownCloud offers\u00a0end-to-end encryption<\/span>.\u00a0The premium plugin enables users and even guest users to share files and folders fully encrypted.\u00a0At the same time, the person who\u00a0uploaded the file<\/span>\u00a0is able to get an overview of how many and who in particular has access to the file(s).\u00a0The end-to-end encryption feature works in any common, modern browser.\u00a0A JavaScript plugin encrypts files on upload with public keys provided by the server.\u00a0Vice versa, the decryption\u00a0is also happening in the web interface<\/span>, which requires the presence of the private key in the browser.<\/p>\n

File protection at every step<\/h4>\n

Besides\u00a0these comprehensive encryption measures<\/span>, ownCloud has a bundle of features\u00a0to increase data protection and secrecy of files, namely\u00a0File Lifecycle<\/a>, File Locking<\/a> or Document Classification<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0The File Lifecycle Management App archives and retains files depending on their upload date. Based on certain rules, files which are only used for a certain amount of time can\u00a0be deleted or\u00a0archived automatically<\/span>, if critical data is contained. In return, files can be retained longer if needed.\u00a0The\u00a0File<\/span>\u00a0Firewall<\/a> plugin\u00a0checks<\/span>\u00a0every access request against a list of rules and policies, protecting against access through users outside of the corporate offices and or even disabling access from high-risk countries.<\/p>\n

In case of working on files in parallel, ownCloud’s File\u00a0Locking<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature ensures safety and\u00a0seamless collaboration all in one. It is avoiding\u00a0simultaneous<\/span>\u00a0file saving by locking the file for an adjustable time.\u00a0Misunderstandings<\/span>\u00a0and therefore data loss by several users working on the same file can be avoided\u00a0with this extra.<\/p>\n

Customized security<\/h4>\n

When sharing highly sensitive data, files and folders need an extra level of protection. Think of sharing board meeting notes or annual performance reports. In these cases you restrict access to a certain group of people, and\u00a0also\u00a0restrict downloading, printing or sharing these documents.<\/span> ownCloud automatically tags files accordingly by recognizing significant cues in the meta-data of common office documents. Of course, files can also be tagged manually.<\/p>\n

\"Document<\/p>\n

For the perfect safety roundup,\u00a0ownCloud provides the Ransomware Protection<\/a> feature and in addition an Antivirus<\/a> feature<\/span>.\u00a0Ransomware Protection blocks malware from encrypting files and folders, effectively neutralizing such attacks.\u00a0The Antivirus app scans uploads for infections with viruses, trojans, and other malware.<\/p>\n

With all of these features\u00a0for data security in place,<\/span>\u00a0ownCloud provides\u00a0the perfect solution for all\u00a0requirements regarding safe and trustworthy\u00a0sharing, synchronisation and content collaboration.\u00a0Alongside data security, you can check out more safety features<\/a> regarding authentication.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
