On the heels of my last blog post about dumpster diving online storage and file sharing services, Wired posted a story on the validity of Dropbox’s claims about their data security.
I guess the bottom line is you have to really understand how applications and services handle your information, and how it may affect your own security policies and requirements, especially SaaS services.
This is a great story about BDS in a software as a service (SaaS) environment. BankLiberty was looking for a faster, more secure, and more efficient way to send their confidential information out. KDSA Consulting, our partner in North Andover, MA, hosts our secure file transfer solution in their datacenter, handling the back end so our customers don’t have to worry about hardware, software, and network connectivity.
My favorite quote in the article, by network administrator Dan Hagstrom, was when he said that “the results in 2010 have been transformative. It’s changed the way that we can communicate with the outside world.”
Biscom has partnered with TOSS to provide a hosted solution for transfering files. For smaller companies who have confidential, sensitive, or very large files to transfer, the GetSaaS Secure Files solution by TOSS is a great way to deploy secure file transfer services to your users quickly and easily. The best part about this, you’re using the same trusted and proven software solution that Fortune 500 companies rely on to transfer their most critical files and data.
We’re excited to partner with a company like TOSS who has years of experience in managed services. Read the full press release here.
