Optimization for home office: data is just as secure at home as in the office
Hamburg, November 2, 2021 – According to the provider, the new version 4.7 is the “most secure TeamDrive” ever. The cloud-based sync-and-share service recommends 2-factor authentication and encrypts locally stored data. These and all other security options can be optionally set by each individual user or mandated for all company workstations by the administrator of a corporate account. “TeamDrive has long relied on 2-factor authentication when installing and using client software. Now it is also possible to make this security level mandatory for every login,” explains Detlef Schmuck, Managing Director of Hamburg-based TeamDrive GmbH.
In addition, the current version offers a new setting so that all local data on the clients is stored exclusively in encrypted form. Only when a file is opened is it decrypted on the end device. Unlike most providers, TeamDrive does not store data in the file system, but in a local cache that is independent of the file system, and backs it up in the cloud. The duration of storage in the cache is freely configurable, so that the data is available offline if required, for example for working on the road without an Internet connection.
“With the latest protective measures, we are taking into account the development that more and more users are working in home offices,” explains Detlef Schmuck. He explains, “As a result, endpoint security plays a more important role than ever before, especially for PCs and tablets in the home environment. The new version ensures that operational data is just as safe from unauthorized access when employees are at home as when they are working in the office.”
