Q: Is my data secure?
A: Absolutely. Your data is protected through a variety of different means:
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptographic protocol ensures the privacy and reliability of all large file uploads and downloads.
128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) file encryption is also used to protect against any unauthorized access of our clients’ files. 128-bit encryption is the level of encryption used by banks and major online retailers (like Amazon.com), and the AES standard has been approved by the US government’s National Security Agency (NSA) for the encryption of classified information.
Downloads can also be password-protected to ensure only the intended recipient can access the file(s). Additionally, download links can also be set to work only once, thus preventing unauthorized access to your files should the download link be forwarded on to other, unintended recipients.
This makes using FilesDIRECT significantly more secure than practically any email or FTP solution. FilesDIRECT allows you to make secure file transfers without all the work of other methods.
