BrightTalk Webinar: Secure Cloud Based File Exchange

Be sure to check out the SendSafely / BrightTALK Webinar we conducted yesterday about Secure Cloud Based File Exchange. During the half-hour webinar, Brian Holyfield (SendSafely Team Lead) will cover:

Confidentiality risks associated with cloud-based file exchange
How encryption can, but sometimes doesn’t, help mitigate confidentiality threats
Limitations of server-side encryption offered by most file exchange providers
How SendSafely can bridge the gap between traditional file exchange and the more cumbersome Bring Your Own Encryption (BYOE) model.

We were very pleased with the positive feedback we received and look forward to doing more join webcasts with BrightTALK. The webinar is available for viewing free of charge at https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/288/103317.

Frequently asked questions

What did the 2014 SendSafely BrightTALK webinar cover?

The May 2014 webinar on secure cloud-based file exchange covered confidentiality risks of cloud file exchange, how encryption can and sometimes cannot mitigate them, limits of server-side encryption, and how SendSafely bridges traditional file exchange and Bring Your Own Encryption (BYOE).

What are the limitations of server-side encryption for file sharing?

The webinar discussed that server-side encryption offered by most file exchange providers does not always address confidentiality threats. SendSafely instead encrypts files on the sender’s device with OpenPGP and splits the decryption key, as described on the Secure File Transfer page.
