Many industries deal with personal data. To protect confidentiality and prevent sensitive information from being misused it is essential to use secure communication channels. Businesses are required to follow a variety regulations, including GDPR and PCI DSS to be able to protect their clients, partners and employees.
There are a variety of tools available to collaborate in business. However, some of them have more robust security features. For instance cloud-based software like Box can be a strong security tool with features such as granular access controls, two-factor authentication, and encryption of files. A device-friendly application like Tresorit is secured at the point of use making it difficult for hackers to take data. These tools are perfect for collaboration in business due to their security features.
The choice of the right tool depends on the company’s workflows and storage requirements for data. For instance, certain solutions offer multiple types of file transfer protocols, such as SFTP, FTPS and HTTPS and others, while others integrate with a range of third-party software. Others focus on a specific type of file transfer and integrate those capabilities with enterprise features such as automation, workflow integrations or analytics.
The best solution for an business is one that blends user-friendliness with security measures that are suitable for business processes and regulatory requirements. The most user-friendly program is one which allows non-IT staff to log in and navigate the interface with ease regardless of whether they are uploading or downloading files. In addition that, many of the more secure tools require authentication to verify identities and permissions of both parties involved in the transaction. As such, only those who have been authorized have access to and control of files.
