Employees are working from home or remote locations all the time. Remote work will still be a part of business operation in the foreseeable future. They demand mobility and ease of use and prefer the files and folders are always available at the fingertips. However, from CIO's perspective, they want the file server access to be as securely under control as possible. The mobility requirement and the security requirement are usually at the two different ends of the same spectrum. They are generally in conflict with each other. Now there is a way to combine the two requirements into one solution.
When it comes to corporate data, the first thing that comes to the CIO's mind is securing the data when more and more employees work from home and remote locations. VPN (Virtual Private Network) is usually the standard to access corporate file servers from remote locations. However, VPN is quite clumsy and also generates support tickets for the corporate helpdesk support staff. The result is low efficiency for the remote workers and high cost for the business to maintain and support.
When CIOs are concerned about data security, employees working from remote locations are more concerned about getting the job done quickly and efficiently. They want easy access to the corporate files and easy sharing and collaboration with their peers and business partners. Employees prefer OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox kind of mobile user interface when the files and folders follow the employees and easily accessible.
NFC Vault extends the reach of the file server and Active Directory services to mobile workers outside the local network. Active Directory security and NTFS permission models are maintained as if nothing had changed. Users get a familiar drive letter for accessing files from remote locations with simplified access via web browsers and mobile devices.
Eliminate the overheads and support tickets commonly associated with VPN file sharing, Always On VPNs, or Direct Access. Automatically use existing users and permissions to save setup time and money.
Centrally manage users, access controls and easily keep track of where the data is, who has access and how it's being accessed and updated.
With military-grade endpoint encryption, secure connections, and network protocol locking down to the minimum required. It is more secure with less surface exposure.
Avoid the headaches of data sets split between internal file servers, email attachments, or your employees' personal Dropbox accounts.
Provide an always-on mapped drive that works anywhere on any device and allows mobile users to access internal file shares and collaborate with colleagues easily.
Strengthen compliance with data ownership maintained and with additional file change audit trace and file retention policy.
A mapped drive over the HTTPS channel to the corporate file server is an important feature. Employees are familiar with a mapped drive and no additional training is required.
Most file sharing solutions provide manual file locking in the form of "check in" and "check out". NFC Vault provides automatic file locking by detecting requests to open files. When Microsoft Word opens a file, file locking is automatically initiated and automatically terminated when file processing is complete.
Enterprise users already have enterprise identities in Active Directory and the associated Active Directory federated service and SAML single sign-on. They do not need additional credentials to access a file sharing solution.
Finally, integration with Active Directory and NTFS permissions makes it easier for system administrators to set up permission control. The permissions features set Gladinet's solution apart from the competition.
Increase mobile workforce productivity with these features
Remotely access file server shares from a drive letter, without the need for a VPN.
Replace cumbersome VPNs and access files remotely using any web browser. Limit access to just the needed files
Connect to your file server with iOS or Android mobile devices and edit files directly using other mobile applications.
Edit office documents from a web browser and use Office 365 applications to edit files from NFC Vault on iOS and Android devices.
Traditional VPN file sharing is slow. NFC Vault is built with speed in mind to accelerate remote access
Minimize storage and bandwidth consumption by automatically syncing and caching only the files you need.
Multiple file uploads and downloads can happen in parallel to fully leverage the available Internet transfer bandwidth.
Frequently accessed folders can be marked for offline access, so their content gets pre-fetched in the background to shorten time-to-access.
For large file transfers, differentials are calculated such that the transfer only includes the modified blocks.
Run the NFC Vault installer on a clean Windows Server, and the installer will install all dependency components. Basic setup and configuration require only a few minutes. A reboot is required after the installation.
Enable Active Directory integration and file server discovery. You can then publish file server network shares to Active Directory users for secure, remote, and mobile access from remote and mobile devices
You can use the NFC Vault professional services team for setup, configuration, and training or work directly with one of our authorized partners. We will help you set up the NFC Vault server to integrate with your IT infrastructure.
The ability to serve files and folders directly from file servers on-premises without any involvement from third-party sites is already a big security improvement. Additional security features include:
Save time by allowing users to automatically log in with their existing username and password from Active Directory.
Automatically use the existing NTFS permissions while maintaining the entire folder hierarchy's granular control within your network file shares.
Automatically encrypt data at rest on all your endpoints to enhance data protection.
Automatically encrypt data at rest on all your endpoints to enhance data protection.
NFC Vault integrates with MobileIron, Maas360, and other MDM platforms to enhance mobile device security management.
NFC Vault leverages Google Authenticator, Amazon MFA, or DUO for two-factor Authentication
