File Access Control and Workflows

Access files secured and safe

Access files Anytime Anywhere

Through File Access Control and automatic file tagging, SecuredCloud gives administrators control over data access by enabling them to define strict rules requests need to adhere to. If users in certain groups or geographic regions should not be given access to certain file types or if data with a specific tag should not be shared outside the company, administrators can make sure their SecuredCloud instance enforces these rules.

Define automated Workflows and retention

The Workflow engine expands these capabilities, enabling administrators to start any kind of actions based on these triggers, for example converting document file types to PDF upon upload by members of a specified group or emailing files put in a specified folder with a given tag to a given mail address.

File retention and deletion can also be controlled based on tags set manually or automatically, ensuring legal or practical requirements for the longevity of data lifespans can be enforced.

File access control

Home users will find that the File Access Control app and other workflow tools can be used to prevent accidental sharing of sensitive data, adding an additional layer of protection to SecuredCloud. The example on the right ensures that files with the “protected” tag are not accessible outside the home network nor synced by the clients

Monitoring your SecuredCloud solution

The SecuredCloud Activity app gives users a clear view on what is happening with their files. It tracks file modifications, downloads of shares and changes to comments or tags, providing an overview in the browser or via email notifications and an RSS feed.

SecuredCloud scales to millions of users

SecuredCloud scales to millions of users and at that scale it is important to keep an eye on the health of a system. The Server Information app provides a way for admins to monitor the state and performance of a SecuredCloud server installation. Besides the graphical UI, an API endpoint provided makes it possible for system administrators to import this data in their monitoring app so they can keep an eye on SecuredCloud operations from the same place they monitor the rest of their infrastructure.

Monitoring and systems intelligence tools openNMS and Splunk already have support for monitoring SecuredCloud 10+ systems and the openNMS configuration module can be easily modified for other tools like Nagios.
