FAQ
How does CTERA ensure end-to-end encryption in secure file sharing?
Simple, we employ AES-256 encryption for data both at rest and in transit. All file transfers are secured using TLS 1.2/1.3 to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Our encryption keys are managed via an internal key management system (KMS), with options for integration into customer-controlled KMS for additional security. Each file is encrypted with a unique key, ensuring that even in the event of a data breach, your files remain inaccessible without proper decryption credentials.
What file sharing protocols are supported by CTERA, and how are they secured?
We support secure file sharing over industry-standard protocols such as SMB 3.0 and NFS 4.1, which offer built-in encryption and authentication mechanisms. SMB 3.0 includes support for signing and encryption of traffic, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality during file transfers. NFS 4.1 leverages Kerberos authentication, providing secure access controls at the file system level.
How does CTERA provide auditability and tracking for file sharing activities?
We generate detailed, immutable audit logs that track every access, modification, or sharing event. These logs include user activity, file path, time stamps, IP addresses, and transfer details. Logs are securely stored in a centralized location, and administrators can export them for compliance audits or integration with SIEM systems. We also support alerting and anomaly detection for abnormal sharing activities.
