There’s a chance that you, as a company owner or employee, you share files over the Internet. These files, whether they are customer records or SaaS information are valuable assets and should be secured. If your files are compromised, it could have severe consequences, from financial loss to the damage to reputation and trust.
Fortunately, there are safe methods of transferring files that will shield you from the prying eyes of hackers and other threats. The most secure methods to secure data transfer is to encrypt the data that is transferred and, when it is stored, you must use strong authentication and make sure that only the authorized individual has access to the files.
The most secure method of transferring files is via a cloud-based service that employs encryption. NordLocker is one such example. It uses SFTP and Secure Shell cryptography to provide encryption that makes it impossible for attackers to access the information. It also comes with additional security features such as multi-factor authentication so that even if a hacker gains access to your account, they won’t be able to use it. You can also add an additional layer of protection by using an end-to-end encrypted service such as Internxt. This zero-knowledge encryption makes sure that Internxt will never scan or save your data, and only you (and anyone else with whom decide to share it) can decrypt the file(s). It’s essential to understand the different types of secure methods to transfer files in order to select the one that’s best suited to your company.
