FileCloud | January 11, 2023
On January 10, 2023, FileCloud announced the addition of Zero Trust File Sharing, bringing another layer of hyper-security to the market's most robust content collaboration platform. The latest, Zero Trust File Sharing, enables users to collaborate securely with employees along with other personnel, including external partners, vendors and clients.
This functionality extends beyond modulating share permissions or setting Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. Zero Trust File Sharing will become increasingly crucial for enterprises and organizations that handle sensitive or protected data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Confidential Unclassified Information (CUI).
The emergence of cloud service technologies, remote access applications, and disappearing network edges have revealed multiple vulnerabilities in perimeter-based IT security models. The Zero Trust framework, built on a system of least privilege, provides a more resilient and adaptable approach that imposes identity authentication, regardless of where or how the request for access gets derived.
The U.S. Department of Defense has recently come up with a Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap to eventually cover all U.S. government departments, which is likely to be adopted by the private sector. As a result, critical infrastructure sectors are ideal candidates for integrating Zero Trust File Sharing to protect their information systems from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks launched by nation-states.
FileCloud's Zero Trust support enables enterprises to have an added layer of security on top of FileCloud's built-in access controls. The data within the environment is secured using a Zip file structure and password protection. The user can also set a Zero Trust password and create a sharing link to a file or folder.
The data remains inaccessible without this password, even with a shared direct link or in case of a data breach. Furthermore, the data remains protected by password-based encryption even if the Zero Trust protected folder is accessed via unauthorized means, including social engineering techniques.
Users who access the data with the Zero Trust password will also be restricted in their ability to edit or manipulate the data contained within the Zero Trust folder based on the share permissions.

Cloudflare | January 12, 2023
On 11 Jan 2023, Cloudflare, Inc., a leading cybersecurity solutions provider focused on building a better internet, announced multiple new Zero Trust email security tools, compatible with any email provider. The solution prevents sensitive data exfiltration via email, guard employees against multichannel phishing attacks, and help businesses simplify and accelerate deployments. Cloudflare offers organizations simple and reliable phishing and malware protection that is deeply incorporated with its Zero Trust platform, helping organizations secure all their data and applications.
“You can’t have a complete Zero Trust solution without securing email, given that a huge proportion of all cyberattacks begin with phishing,” stated the Co-Founder and CEO of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince. “In 2022, Cloudflare Area 1 identified and kept almost 2.3 billion unwanted messages out of customer inboxes. Today we’re filling a void in the marketplace that has been underinvested in for the last ten years, with the first set of deeply integrated solutions that bring together Cloudflare Area 1 email security and our Zero Trust platform,” he added.

Email is one of the most pervasive and exploited tools used by businesses daily. According to the FBI’s most recent Internet Crime Report, email account compromise and business email compromise led to U.S. companies losing nearly US$ 2.4 billion. In addition, email is one of the most complex tools for businesses to secure, involving a massive drain on IT team resources, multiple vendors, and complex deployments.
Cloudflare’s Zero Trust SASE platform will allow customers to deploy email security and data protection tools that are comprehensively linked with their current security stack and compatible with any email service provider. Cloudflare One offers a comprehensive Zero Trust SASE platform that is built into Cloudflare’s global network, which spans over 275 cities in over 100 countries. This deeply embedded approach makes it easy to set up in just a few clicks without switching email providers.
With Cloudflare Area 1’s new solutions, companies can automatically isolate questionable email attachments and links, identify and prevent data leaks, and rapidly onboard new Microsoft 365 domains.
