Does that mean you are sending my files in the clear over the network from the FSW clients to the Assureon?
We support and encourage the use of IPSec-3DES to protect the network traffic between the Assureon and the rest of user network including CIFS/NFS clients and instances of FSW. This is the highest level of network encryption that is commonly available today. We will support IPSec-AES once support for it becomes more common. It is useful to point out that the AES256 encryption is provided mainly to protect the repository and any backup tapes or discs from disclosure, and to help enforce deletion of records after expiry. In general, Assureon’s encryption does not attempt to safeguard information while it is being used in workstations and other clients, nor does it claim to be an enterprise-wide security solution. However, using Assureon as the principal repository for sensitive information in the enterprise is certainly going to improve its overall security posture as many traditional vulnerabilities either disappear or become minimized.
