Passwords protect content ... but also hide threats.

Password-protected documents are becoming more prevalent as files with sensitive data travel between user inboxes, file transfer processes, or are uploaded to cloud storage and applications.

Accepting password-protected and other encrypted files is both a business necessity and a risk: malware can enter into your organization through these files. Security solutions like antivirus, sandboxes, and secure email gateways cannot decrypt these encrypted file types to check for malware.

Manually investigating encrypted files is time-consuming & inaccurate.

Many organizations choose to block, quarantine, or send encrypted files into a sandbox. All of these options delay employees or systems that need those files, invite manual investigation, create tedious tasks for the IT/security team like unblocking files, and these are also not foolproof methods to preventing evasive malware. In the end, there's no way to tell if unknown malware is hidden inside, so the security/IT team unblocks the file and sends it on its way, anyway.

Reconciling Security with Productivity

Ultimately, the answer for any organization – LIES NOT IN BLOCKING password-protected file transfers, but rather in SECURING them.

There is a way to have both security and business productivity when it comes to files, content, and data: Votiro Cloud.

Same file. Same active content. No malware.

Votiro Cloud allows the ingress of password-protected files, without slowing down file flow. Our approach - prevention, not detection - means that only the good components of a password-protected file are allowed into an organization.

Votiro Cloud, in a single, user-driven workflow, instantly decrypts password-protected files, moves ONLY the known good elements onto a clean template, and recrypts and sends that file to its original destination.

The file retains its original format, active content, and macros. Users don't even know Votiro is there.

The Votiro Cloud API fits into wherever content flows: email, web applications, cloud storage, downloads from the web, file transfer, etc.

Protect Files in Uploads to Portals & Applications

Accepting files from trusted or untrusted users, like customers, prospects, or members of the public? Prevent malware from entering via customer-facing portals and applications.

Prevent Malware in Content Collaboration & Email

Content collaboration happens in Slack, Google Drive, Box, email, and a thousand other tools and digital locations. Let your employees work with confidence that malware isn't in the content they need.

...or Anywhere You Need to!

As an API, Votiro Cloud is extremely flexible. Votiro Cloud plugs into any existing workflow and IT or security technology already in place.
