The Most Secure Way to Transfer Files
As a business owner or an employee, there’s a good chance that you’re sending files via the Internet. Whether you’re sharing customer records or SaaS data, these files are valuable assets that require protection. If your files are compromised, it could lead to severe consequences, ranging from financial loss to damage to reputation and trust.
There are, however, safe ways to transfer files that will shield you from hackers, prying eyes and other threats. The best ways to secure data transfer is to encrypt the data on the network and, if it is stored, demand strong authentication. Also, make sure that only the authorized individual has access to the files.
The most secure method to transfer files is using a cloud-based service with encryption. NordLocker makes use of SFTP and Secure Shell encryption to make it impossible for attackers access data that has been transferred. Furthermore, it provides additional security features such as multi-factor authentication. This ensures that even if someone does gain access to your account, they won’t be able to use it. Internxt, for example, provides end-to-end encryption which provides an additional layer of security. This zero-knowledge encryption makes sure that Internxt will never scan or save your data, and that only you (and anyone with whom you decide to share it) can decrypt the file(s). Understanding the different kinds of secure file transfer is important in order to choose the best option for your business.
