The consumerisation of IT and the popularity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) are jeopardising the security and integrity of business data. Seeking an easy way to share files across laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones, employees are signing up for free public cloud file sharing services that lack rigorous security and audit controls. Free public cloud file sharing services are prone to security outages, and lack the centralized monitoring and control features that IT administrators and internal security teams need for keeping data safe and in compliance with industry and government regulations
In place of consumer-grade public cloud file sharing services, enterprises need a secure file sharing solution that is convenient, easy-to-use, and rigorously secure. By deploying such a solution in a private cloud, enterprises can ensure that employees get the file sharing services desired, while IT gets the management and monitoring capabilities necessary for security and compliance.
By adopting a private cloud solution for file sharing and synchronisation, enterprises can enjoy the benefits of improved collaboration and IT elasticity; without increasing exposure to data loss, regulatory penalties, and other compliance risks.
