Examples of what you can do when you’re Envaulted

“Should we trust the cloud operator”

Your company file servers are outsourced to the cloud. The only problem is that you don’t know where your documents actually reside and who is reading them – after all, the operator could be tempted or forced to surrender your information to outsiders, or they could have a malicious worker looking to make a quick profit by selling your data. How could you trust these guys?

- Luckily you won’t need to, if you are Envaulted. Envault cloud security products can bring confidentiality, integrity and auditing to the cloud: The files you save to a cloud storage are incomplete, and you hold the keys in your FragmentVault server. So the operator couldn’t read your data even if they wanted.

Bad leaver challenge

The word is Gunther’s just got a new job from your competitor. What to do?

- If you’re Envaulted, you could disable all company information on his PC and his USB sticks through FragmentVault server – just to make sure that no sensitive information leaves with him and he won’t be able to email protected documents to himself or anyone else.

“Paranoid traveler”

Your employees need to take a business trip to a country where officials may confiscate laptops or USB drives at will. How to make sure that the evil regime does not steal your company secrets and you don’t fall prey to industrial espionage? You know that standard consumer grade encryption and passwords won’t do much to stop governments.

- If you’re Envaulted, you could simply just temporarily suspend the protected documents on their equipment through your FragmentVault server. When you know that your people have reached their destination, you can re-activate the equipment and data with a mouse click.

Reduce waste – donate old hard disks or computers to kindergarten

You have piles of used hard disks, full of company confidential material. It would cost you a limb and an eye to have them blanked or demolished, and such processes would be controlled by outsiders. How could you get rid of the stuff safely?

- If you’re Envaulted, you could just put an end to the lifespan of the documents inside the hard disks through your FragmentVault – just delete the associated fragments and the disks can be given away as toys. The disks can be re-used – the next user can format them and use them as normal.

Worm alert, USB port lock down

You read from the news that there’s a worm or a virus outbreak. How to stop it from entering your nuclear plant’s network?

- You could just use Envault’s device control to lock down all USB ports so that mass storage devices cannot be used, but mice and keyboards and your USB fan will still operate normally. After your antivirus software is up to date, you can simply re-open the USB ports. And if you suspect that you’ve already got the infection, you can find out from logs that what files have been coming in from USB ports.
