Data security is one of the top priority when dealing with sensitive data. In recent times, we have been listening a lot about data leaks, server hack etc. Full data encryption is one of the solution which helps to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data. But manual encrypting every time and every files is cumbersome and prone to misses. For this, Sophos, world’s leader in encryption of software, introduced Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8 which promises to provide always on file level encryption.
Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8 uses data centric protection approach to encryption. This provides an easy way to protect your data against theft, breach or accidental exposure regardless of where and how the data is travelling. As it is has the always on encryption, data protection starts as soon as the file is created. The encryption follows even if the data is saved or shared internally or externally.
Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8 is the first platform to provide persistent, transparent and proactive encryption that protects files across Windows, Mac, iOS or Android platforms by default. It also provides an option to administrators for setting the default app for any kind of files. This will become the trusted app for that file type. Apart from that app, no other app can open the files which is an added security to the data.
Sophos SafeGuard Encryption 8 provides always on encryption. When a file created it gets automatically encrypted. The file icon will have the locked symbol. Any device within the network can view the files without using the password. The encrypted files which are shared via email within the networks can also be opened without the password.
Sophos SafeGuard easily integrates Sophos mobile control. It provides an option to view, use and share the files which are created in Mac or Windows system regardless of your mobile operating system. If you want to open encrypted file received via email in your mobile device, save it on the secure workplace container. Login to the secure workplace. Click on the files to view. Once again no need of password to access the files.
If you want to share the encrypted file outside the network which does not uses Sophos SafeGuard Encryption, you have the option to add password. The end user need to enter the password to open the file.
