cloudAshur Hardware Encryption Module

The cloudAshur hardware encryption module encrypts all data in transit and at rest with a FIPS certified randomly generated AES 256-bit encrypted encryption key, which is stored and protected within a dedicated iStorage secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL5+ (Certified Hardware)Ā  ). cloudAshur can be used to encrypt data in the cloud, on a local network drive, on a portable data storage device, on a local PC/Mac, as well as encrypt files shared via email or file sharing services (such as WeTransfer, Monday.com or eFileCabinet).

Key Security Features

Server_engineer

As cloud adoption continues to grow at a rapid rate and due to the virtual treasure trove of data being stored in the cloud, cloud data is coming under increasing and persistent threat with more sophisticated attacks being designed and deployed by cyber criminals. Cloud malware injection attacks, side-channel, DDoS, hijacking and ransomware attacks are common threats that can expose sensitive data. To protect against such risks, data must be encrypted in transit and at rest.

ā€˜But cloud providers offer server-side encryption, so surely my data is safe,ā€™ you may argue. Granted, most cloud providers will encrypt client data. However, the encryption key is stored in the cloud and thus accessible to hackers and cloud staff alike ā€“ quite like leaving your house keys under the doormat that half the neighbourhood knows about.

Full encryption of data should not be dependent on the cloud provider.

cloudAshur grants the user full and secure control of the encryption key, protecting your data even if your cloud account is hacked. This ensures data confidentiality, guarding against all forms of hacking methods.

If a hacker obtains your user credentials, the breach will go unnoticed to the cloud provider as they wonā€™t be able to decipher between a legitimate user from an attacker. By keeping the encryption key away from the cloud increases the number of security measures from just one authentication method, the cloud account login credentials, to the cloudAshur’s unprecedented five factor authentication.

cloudAshur Encryption Module

Is there a limit to the file name length when placed into an encrypted folder?

The operating system limits the file name length to 255 characters. This can vary depending on the file system in use.

Is it possible to work offline in any way?

cloudAshur requires network connection to authenticate user credentials when logging in to the Client App.

Is it possible to use preview files directly from the cloud, not from the cloudAshur local folder?

Since the files are stored in encrypted form, the file will not be executable online from the cloud.
