Data Protection Software for Fileshares by Portal26 integrates with multiple filesharing solutions such as SMB or S3 based File Servers and Cloud Filesharing platforms. It deploys across clouds, on-premise, and hybrid environments. Portal26 utilizes NIST FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for both file content encryption as well as file and folder names. Access is logged and monitored. In the event of an incident, Portal26 can provide audit logs to show data retention encryption. Portal26 is deployed on the fileshare via agent or proxy, depending on the file sharing platform and operating system. If agents are allowed, they are deployed on each file server; if not, Portal26 is deployed via proxy. Files written to the fileshare are intercepted by Portal26 and encrypted. Portal26 offers BYOK (bring your own key), HYOK (hold your own key), and key control functionality, allowing data owners to keep their data segmented and private, even on the same file server. Encryption key-based segmentation is important for regulatory compliance and data privacy. Key location and key management provide strong security control. Portal26 encrypts files, including data and names of files and folders, making it difficult for bad actors to access data. Portal26 encryption meets stringent data protection standards in major regulations and frameworks. Portal26 releases data in nine privacy preserving formats for configuration with downstream systems. Compared to traditional tokenization solutions, Portal26 secures more data while retaining usability. The Portal26 plugin can be operational within half a day, while the Proxy takes a few days. In attack scenarios, Portal26 provides visibility into any data that was observed, accessed, or exfiltrated.
