The Fastest Way to Put Large Data Sets to Work

The use by AEC firms of reality capture devices, like drones and 3D cameras, has exponentially increased the amount of data that they collect in the field but to unlock its value and be actionable it must go through a time and computing-intensive process that is easier said than done. Transferring that data to an office or the public cloud can take hours, days or weeks, significantly impacting project timelines.

A Better Approach to Data Privacy with Truyo and Egnyte

If you receive a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) today, what will you do? How does your organization respond to a request from a customer who wants to know what personal data you have and how you use it? What if a customer requests the “right to be forgotten”? How do you know you have deleted every instance of personal data from all locations in your company? Will you be able to respond quickly and completely?

3 Ways Egnyte Helps Life Sciences Companies Leverage the Cloud

Life sciences companies increasingly rely on cloud computing environments to accelerate research. The cloud provides cost effective compute power, more efficient data processing, access to files and applications from anywhere, and advanced analytics tools to gain insights from data and manage it. But when a majority of that research is done by external contract research organizations (CROs) or in time zones on the other side of the world, that speed advantage can grind to a halt.

How and Why Egnyte Redesigned Its Core Configuration System

Configuration at scale is hard. At Egnyte, we’d developed a flexible system that was advantageous early on but put increasing stress on our engineers and processes as the company grew. And, being a cloud deployed software product, we needed to be able to serve all of its customers, which meant we had to come up with a solution that addressed our current challenges and set us up to support our future growth as well.

Focus on Data Governance This Cybersecurity Awareness Month

For 18 years, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has raised technology users’ awareness about the critical importance of cybersecurity and provided them with helpful resources to interact safely online. This year’s observance of Cybersecurity Awareness Month could not be more critical. It is estimated that more than 2,800 ransomware attacks take place each week—that adds up to more than 145,000 ransomware attacks per year.

5 Reasons Every AEC Firm Should Care about CMMC

Since the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was released in January 2020, there has been a lot of hand-wringing over what it means and who should actually care. This is especially true for AEC firms, many of which figure this regulation only applies to big system integrators and defense contractors like Northrup Grumman and Boeing. But CMMC isn’t just about large enterprises. Any organization that currently contracts with, or plans to contract with the U.S.

Secure Delivery

Egnyte’s Secure Delivery ensures only intended recipients have access to shared files and allows you to revoke access even if the recipient previously downloaded those files. When customizing a Share link, select Specific Recipients and enter the desired email addresses. Then, under Allow Downloads, choose Yes, Encrypted. Recipients can view the shared file in their web browser, however, they must install Egnyte FileGuard to open the encrypted file.

Recipient Specific Links

Ensure the files and folders you share from Egnyte are only accessible to your intended recipients, by creating recipient specific links. When creating a Share link, under who will have access, select Specific Recipients and enter the email addresses of the desired parties. The recipients will be authenticated via email when they first access the link. If they access the link again in the future, they will be emailed an authorization code to unlock the shared content.

The EU and UK General Data Protection Regulations affect any businesses that store personal data, which belongs to a resident of the United Kingdom or European Union.

When adding user permissions to folders, subfolders automatically inherit the permissions of their parent folder. However, you can disable this feature for specific folders to control exactly who has access. From the folder of your choice, select Share, then Manage Folder Permissions.
