Cloud File Security & Encryption

Panzura CloudFS™ incorporates FIPS 140-2 certification, military grade encryption, secure erase, and other important security features to protect your enterprise’s most valuable assets.

Panzura ensures enterprises are responsible for their portion of the shared responsibility security model employed by so many clouds today. When connected to the cloud, enterprises should make sure the cloud has strong security measures — but should also make sure not to rely on cloud encryption and security measures alone.

Panzura CloudFS encrypts data in two ways:

Data at rest is encrypted using AES 256-bit algorithms.
Data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3.

Secure Erase

IT environments often require the ability to securely remove all traces of highly sensitive files. Secure erase makes it possible to delete a file or folder so that the contents cannot be restored, even using the most advanced technology available.

The secure erase capability is the highest purge level that can be attained without physically destroying the disk drives. It removes all versions of specified files and folders from the Panzura CloudFS node and the associated objects stored in the cloud and ensures all data is securely erased and replaced with zeros.

Secure erase can be used with any supported cloud provider.

Private Secure Sites

A private secure site, also known as a dark site, is an installation with security restrictions that requires absolutely no external communications. These installations can include government and military sites, government and military contractors, industries such as healthcare and finance, and regulated industries such as gaming.

Panzura CloudFS fully supports private secure site mode, which will disable all external public communications in a manner that is compliant with the most stringent security requirements.

Additional Important Security Features

Strong, standards-based authentication methods for file access.

Secure access to Panzura administration tools.

Data is deduplicated and compressed before it’s sent to the cloud, providing an additional layer of security by obfuscating the data.

Accelerate digital transformation with a powerful hybrid cloud file platform that:

Modernizes Storage Architecture

Allows organizations to significantly reduce storage costs by consolidating dispersed file data into a unified, deduplicated, compressed, and secured data set in the cloud or on premises.

Unlocks Organizational Productivity

Enables file data to look and feel local to users and processes everywhere. It uniquely empowers users to harness their collective skills by working collaboratively, regardless of location.

Delivers Seamless Cloud File Services

Turns public or private cloud storage into a high performance, immutable global file system that flawlessly delivers file data to people, processes, and AI, and makes it resilient to damage.

Reduces Operational Complexity

Lets IT teams turn their attention to innovation with less file data and infrastructure to manage and protect, fewer storage refreshes to plan for and less worry about recovering from file damage.
