Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise automatically encrypts files before they are saved in the cloud. Adminstrators seem particularly concerned about the use of services such as Dropbox and SkyDrive as they are such convenient and widely-used ways of ensuring that files are available on all of a user's devices, but are often adopted by individuals without much thought for the security of the information in those corporate files.

iOS and Android apps for use with SafeGuard Cloud Storage are under development.

SafeGuard Enterprise also includes SafeGuard Encryption for FileShare to help ensure internally-stored files are only accessible by authorised users. It goes beyond the usual folder permissions by encrypting files, which are then automatically and transparently decrypted for authorised users only, thanks to centralised keys.

"In today's business world, users are everywhere, and data protection needs to be everywhere too," said Matthias Pankert, vice president of product management at Sophos. "With businesses continuing to experience costly and embarrassing breaches, it's more important than ever to secure data. The latest version of SafeGuard Enterprise provides complete data protection."
