Users need to collaborate on projects, which means sharing file data with other internal users as well as external business partners. More often than not, to accomplish this file sharing, they leverage cloud-based file-sync and share solutions. The problem is that cloud-based services limit the organization’s visibility into who is sharing that data, how, and with whom they are sharing it. It also places data outside of IT controls, creating a higher risk of accidental or malicious exposure, and susceptibility to cyber-attack.
IT needs to regain control over shared data, but not at the expense of the user’s ability to collaborate both internally and externally. Cloud-based file-sync and share solutions can now be replaced with internal solutions that are more secure, provide greater insight, and are less expensive.
