Qnext has launched FileFlex Enterprise, a remote-access, sharing and collaboration platform secured by hardware.
The company said the new solution lets users securely access files and folders from source locations without moving files to the cloud.
FileFlex Enterprise includes a Content Collaboration Platform (CCP) capability that does not duplicate or sync content to a secondary location or third-party server. It claims to make individuals and teams more productive and protect company information by providing activity tracking, audit trail, version control, file locking, a unified workflow across devices, and simple, secure.
The solution gives a reduced threat surface, a simplified storage structure and governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) under company control. It supports AES 256 encrypted hybrid point-to-point communication, two-factor authentication, active directory integration, and activity log for operation and incident management to offer a much lower risk posture with minimal impact on existing processes and infrastructure.
Haimantee Mahato, industry analyst, telecom & mobility at Markets and Markets, said: “FileFlex Enterprise reduces an organization’s security risks by enabling a user to simply and easily provide secure remote access to files from their source locations behind the firewall.
“Since no files are moved, uploaded, or duplicated, the organisation is not at risk of placing their data in the hands of a third party, which aids government and privacy compliance requirements such as HIPAA and GDPR. Also, as FileFlex’s file sharing and collaboration solution integrates with Intel vPro processors to provide advanced security enabled in the hardware.”
Wit the control of data transfer being a key requirement of GDPR, FileFlex includes technology, which when used with policies and appropriate user behavior, controls data transfer. Unlike traditional cloud storage services, it doesn’t require a mandatory data transfer of file copies to redundant servers, which may or may not be located in geographies that are outside of GDPR jurisdiction. It also doesn’t depend on the governance, risk management or compliance policies (GRC) of third-parties that may or may not be in compliance.
