Want to take control of your own data security? Innovode Ltd.’s new Armor encryption for Google (News - Alert) Drive can be the solution.
Innovode’s Armor for Google Drive is a cloud based encryption solution that is completely integrated into Google Drive.
Currently available for all Google users through Google’s Enterprise Market place and the Chrome Web Store, Armor helps users protect sensitive files in Google Drive with its AES-256 military grade encryption.
According to Innovode, the solution has a tight integration with Google’s cloud platform. This empowers users to securely store, as well as edit, their protected files directly in Google Drive, eliminating client installation.
Howard Snart, executive director, Innovode, said in a statement, “Desktop encryption solutions constrain the usefulness of files to the desktop. Armor is a cloud based encryption solution that is fully integrated into Google Drive opening up serious use of Google.”
Armor is ideal as a security solution for concerns relating to user account breach, the proliferation of mobile devices in organizations, inadvertent sharing of sensitive files and covert data gathering. The solution is designed to address these security concerns without compromising usability.
Peter Spellward, executive director, Innovode, said in a statement, “We really wanted to produce something the market demanded and it feels great to bring it to fruition. Armor enables all users, domestic and corporate to work in the cloud with the same security comfort and usability they enjoy with on-premise applications.”
Currently, Innovode offers two types of subscriptions as annual or monthly purchases. Users with a regular subscription mode receive a data allowance of 2GB and a file allowance of 5,000 for a price of $3 USD per month. Users with large subscription mode get a data allowance of 4GB and a file allowance of 10,000 for a price of $5 USD per month.
Interested users can purchase licenses through the Armor Configuration interface.
