Syncplicity launches security and compliance console

MENLO PARK, USA: Syncplicity, a leader in cloud-based file management solutions for businesses, announced availability of the Security and Compliance Console. The new Security and Compliance Console gives companies and their IT Administrators:

-- Centralized control over which devices -- either computers or mobile -- inside or outside the company may be used to access, sync and share files and folders, along with tracking of the sync and sharing of corporate data for compliance purposes.

-- Easy enforcement of data retention policies, enabling shared files and folders to be automatically and permanently deleted from user devices when that information is un-shared with a user, whether they are an employee, contractor or anyone outside of the company.

-- The ability to remote wipe any user's account, their individual computers or mobile devices of all corporate data managed under Syncplicity associated with a user or particular device, in the event a device is lost, an employee is terminated, a contractor is finished with their assignment, or for any other information compliance reason.

-- Scalable enterprise-wide deployment with optional 2-factor authentication and single-sign on. The Syncplicity Security and Compliance Console enables native support for single sign-on (SSO) against any SAML or OpenID based federated identity provider to enable use of existing credentials such as Active Directory/LDAP, Google Apps, and OneLogin.

With Syncplicity, users get their own secure Virtual Private Cloud where they use the applications, files and folders they are used to. File changes, no matter where they happen, are automatically synced across all their computers, available in cloud and on-premise applications, accessible on their mobile devices, backed up with version control, and easily shareable with colleagues. Syncplicity delivers unparalleled convenience and protection because users do not have to think ahead about moving or storing files from where they already keep them to get all the benefits Syncplicity offers.

Now, businesses of all sizes can deploy cloud-based file sync, mobile access, sharing and back up that gives users access to all the files they need while giving IT administrators the centralized tools they require to protect corporate assets and dramatically reduce infrastructure and support costs.
