Exclusive: BlockMaster offers secure file transfer via USB console

BlockMaster has launched a brand new technology for file-sharing over a safe line.

Named PIPE, the corporate said that it enables sharing and synchronisation of information over a safe line from side to side without the danger of leaking data or failing compliance.

Secure file-sharing is enabled from one user's SafeConsoleReady USB to at least one (or many) other verified users' managed devices, with the PIPE software client offering Point2Point file-sharing where each recipient and contributor is obviously identified and two-factor authenticated.

BlockMaster said that secure file-sharing is enabled by the SafeConsoleReady Device and PIPE software client, the latter of that is a 0-footprint portable solution that enforces encryption of all data at rest and in transit and enables two-way communication.

The PIPE software client is deployed onto managed SafeConsoleReady devices over any network. Enrollment of access points and verified users to the PIPE is self-serviced and follows established security concepts which includes separation of duties.

Anders Kjellander, CSO at BlockMaster, said: “File-sharing is simpler than email and FTP, but up formerly it has posed great security threats. Traditional file-sharing solutions should really be called file-spreading solutions.

“There aren't any real access controls and just a false sense of security in accordance with horrid implementations of encryption, as breaches have shown. PIPE is a simple-to-use, cost-efficient compliance solution that enforces the strictest requirements of encryption and authentication for data access.”
