End Cloud Data Fugitives! AnySecura’s Crypto Gene Tames Wild Downloads
In today’s era of deep digital transformation, enterprise cloud drives have gradually become core tools for file storage, sharing, and collaboration. Increasingly, critical information such as trade secrets, customer data, and R&D achievements is stored within them. Whether for colleagues in branch offices, subsidiaries, or employees frequently on business trips, cloud drives allow quick access to these important documents, greatly improving work efficiency.
While enterprise cloud drives bring tremendous convenience to work, as open environments, their easy access and download features hide potential risks, significantly increasing the likelihood of sensitive documents being accessed or downloaded by unauthorized personnel:
Account & Password Risks Without Boundaries: With just an account and password, anyone—regardless of location—can easily obtain unencrypted files stored in the cloud drive. Relying solely on the cloud drive’s own controls is insufficient to ensure confidential security.
Loss of Control Over Documents: Employees can download unencrypted cloud drive files to company computers, home PCs, or mobile phones while traveling. Once downloaded to different devices, files easily escape corporate control.
External Sharing Leakage Risks: When sharing important cloud drive documents with third parties during external interactions, leakage can occur easily. Moreover, users face few restrictions on downloading or forwarding documents, and enterprises lack effective deterrence, audit, or traceability measures (including forensic capabilities).
Cloud drive access management policies are relatively basic and cannot provide protection for sensitive files downloaded from the drive. So, how can enterprises enjoy the convenience of cloud drives while preventing confidential information leakage?
AnySecura addresses this challenge by offering an interface service designed for cloud drive information leakage prevention (including AnySecura encryption/decryption interface, encryption permission interface, watermark interface, and external distribution interface). Enterprises can configure these interfaces according to different scenarios to ensure secure access, download, and external sharing of confidential documents within cloud drive systems.
AnySecura & Cloud Drive — Strengthening Information Protection
Download Encryption: The “Security Shield” for Cloud Drive Documents
When files are stored in plaintext on an enterprise cloud drive, the AnySecura encryption interface service can automatically encrypt files upon download. This ensures that regardless of the terminal to which the file is downloaded, it remains encrypted and protected at all times, effectively preventing confidential data leaks.
Decryption for Preview and Editing: The “Secure Key” for Flexible Work
When files are stored in ciphertext on the enterprise cloud drive, employees can use the AnySecura decryption interface to temporarily decrypt files for online preview or editing. Once the document is closed, it reverts to its encrypted state—meeting operational needs while ensuring document security.
Document Permission Management: The “Security Lock” for Fine-Grained Control
The AnySecura encryption permission interface allows modification of encrypted document permissions. Enterprises can set access rights for encrypted cloud drive documents, precisely specifying permitted viewers (by department, group, or individual) and editing rights to achieve fine-grained document control.
Document External Distribution Management: The “Security Shackles” for Shared Files
When a document needs to be sent externally, the AnySecura external distribution interface can create a special distribution version with strict permission settings, including access passwords, expiration dates, limited access times, watermarks, automatic deletion after expiry, and controls over copying, screenshots, and printing. The secure download link can then be sent to recipients, ensuring safe distribution.
Flexible Storage: Choose Between Plaintext and Ciphertext
Enterprises can choose to store documents on the cloud drive in plaintext or ciphertext according to business needs, deploying appropriate leakage prevention solutions to fully safeguard data storage and usage.
- Solution 1: Security Protection for Plaintext Cloud Drive Storage
Even though plaintext files can be accessed and downloaded directly, risks are high. Enterprises can use AnySecura’s watermark management, download encryption, permission control, and external distribution services to add watermarks, encrypt upon download, manage permissions, and create secure distribution files, ensuring safe access, usage, and sharing.
- Solution 2: Comprehensive Protection for Ciphertext Cloud Drive Storage
Encrypting files before uploading them to the cloud drive ensures that they remain encrypted during storage and even after download. Combined with AnySecura’s watermark, decryption, permission control, and external distribution functions, enterprises can meet diverse business needs while securing confidential cloud drive files.
Document Watermark Management: The “Warning Sign” to Deter Leaks
By calling the AnySecura watermark interface, enterprises can embed watermarks into documents within the cloud drive. Watermarks follow the document throughout its lifecycle, providing a strong deterrent against leaks via photography or screenshots.
