![]() So in the event of a data breach or a subpoena request, user keys are protected and files aren’t viewable. What this means is that neither SafeMonk nor Dropbox can see the keys used to encrypt or decrypt files within SafeMonk. As you know, SafeMonk is the only tapproof encryption solution for Dropbox on the market. Last week, we shared with you a short video that explained the first step in how to become an office hero with SafeMonk. Here are some stats we think are fun about the product: Within weeks of our launch some competitors also announced support for sharing. In just six months, a team of five developers had put together the first Dropbox encryption solution that supported sharing. SafeMonk is the first product released from SafeNet Labs, a SafeNet incubator. It was a significant moment for us, and also for SafeNet. Happily, we made the date thanks to the long hours, enthusiasm, and dedication of the team. ![]() It was a major throw-away-the-code-and-re-do-it time we had 72 hours left to do it. Finally, we had an idea and there was one way we could see that could solve the AV problem. Hours were spent proposing new designs, throwing away ideas, and hitting the whiteboard. The AV debacle began the near 24-hour cycle to make our date. If we didn’t do it, we would have failed in our experiment. We wanted to show our parent company that a small team, secluded, co-located, focused and using strict agile could deliver something new in a short period of time (we had started not quite six months earlier). With four days to go, the team began to think we had to scrap the launch and throw away the fundamental architecture we had built for Windows. We spent frantic hours trying to uncover and fix what was going wrong. Two of them worked and 10 of them failed. We had built 12 VMs to run our automated Windows testing, each with one of the top 12 AVs. Within a day we realized we had a big problem. The week before we launched, someone thought it might be a good idea to add AntiVirus (AV) testing to our automated test platform. We left the office at 4am on the morning of the launch having been in the office for three long days and nights. As a team, we spent many late nights getting ready for that point in time. On June 11, 2013, we launched SafeMonk publicly. What’s not to love about that?Ĭheck out this latest video from our office hero who explains why he loves the Auditing Control and Remote Kill features, and how with them he runs the show. If you’re not happy with how data is being shared in Dropbox, you can simply revoke keys by file or by user with Remote Kill and render the data useless. Auditing Control gives companies the ability to track, log, and report on how users are sharing company data within Dropbox, which is essential for compliance and non-repudiation. Need another reason to love SafeMonk? Here you go: Auditing Control and Remote Kill. In other words, this feature enables whoever’s in charge of company IT to say “yes” to using Dropbox. IT policy enforcers know that with SafeMonk, they have the ability to set password rules, add and/or remove users, disable user access, and even revoke file shares. This gives CIOs total control over Dropbox inside their companies. Even in the unlikely event of a data breach or subpoena request, user keys are protected and files aren’t viewable, because neither SafeMonk nor Dropbox can see the keys used to encrypt or decrypt files within SafeMonk. Remember, SafeMonk is the only tapproof encryption solution for Dropbox on the market. ![]() Like Dropbox, there are lots of reasons to love SafeMonk. It’s convenient, it’s intuitive, it speeds up collaboration, and it allows you to access your files from almost anywhere. There are lots of reasons why people love using Dropbox. What’s more, IT policy enforcers can manage all of SafeMonk’s function, including anywhere access, from an easy-to-use mobile interface it’s a double-dose of convenience.Ĭheck out this fourth and final video from our office hero who discusses Anywhere Access with SafeMonk, and why it won’t change the convenience you love about Dropbox. When it comes to convenience, SafeMonk allows employees to access company data on Dropbox anywhere, at anytime, safely and securely. Remember, like Dropbox, there are a number of reasons to like SafeMonk, including Tapproof Security, Account Management, and Auditing Control and Remote Kill features.

Because Dropbox allows you to access files and other data you need, no matter where you are and on almost any device. Dropbox has made file sharing not only simpler, but also more convenient. Over the years, technology has been created to make our lives easier, both personally and professionally. ![]()
