- More security for cloud users
Storing private or business data in the cloud – i.e. on the storage systems of special providers on the Internet – has its appeal: you can access and edit your data on the move and independently of your own computer.
Many storage services are offered very cheaply or even free of charge.
However, users often have reservations about data security in the cloud.
This is because access to the storage service is usually only secured with a user name and password.
In addition, the data is usually only encrypted when it is transferred from the computer to the storage location – in the cloud itself, it is unencrypted and therefore unsecured.
This is where the new software from REINER SCT provides a remedy: cloud Cockpit® automatically encrypts the data that is to be stored in the “cloud” and makes it secure against unwanted access and manipulation.
Users do not need any special knowledge for this process.
cloud Cockpit® is child’s play.
When the software is installed under Windows, a new folder is automatically displayed.
The user copies all the files they want to save in the cloud into this folder.
There, the data is automatically encrypted and secured either – depending on the user’s decision – with a password or by the more secure option with an OWOK chip card and reader from REINER SCT.
The data is then uploaded to the respective cloud application.
The data is always secured using highly secure cryptography and an AES 128-bit key.
With cloud Cockpit®, the data is therefore protected both on its way to the cloud and at its storage location.
If hackers succeed in penetrating a cloud service, the data stored there cannot be read or manipulated.
Most popular cloud applications already prepared
The software can be used for all providers of online storage services; some providers such as Dropbox, Google, Microsoft, Computer BILD and STRATO are already preconfigured.
Other providers or storage media, such as USB sticks or external hard disks, can be integrated with just a few clicks using a convenient wizard.
cloud Cockpit® has no volume or file restrictions.
With cloud Cockpit® it is also easy to share data stored in the cloud with other users if required.
cloud Cockpit® is designed as a subscription model and costs 9.95 euros for one year.(www.reiner-sct.com/cloudcockpit/) About REINER SCT REINER SCT has been developing, manufacturing and distributing readers for smart cards since 1997.
