U.S. officials are expanding their investigation into the hacking of state election systems as officials believe more states beyond just Arizona and Illinois were affected, a government official has confirmed to CBS News. The U.S. believes that people working for the Russian government are behind the hack of internal emails at the Democratic National Committee, officials confirmed to CBS News.

Ohanae empowers companies to share files securely with anyone in a whole new way

Trust is Our #1 Value

Companies need one platform to connect everything.  Ohanae is fully integrated into the Salesforce platform.  The Salesforce platform is trusted by customers worldwide to keep their most critical data secure.  While the Salesforce platform provides enterprise-grade security for content at rest, those protections stop the moment files are shared, emailed, or downloaded from the cloud.  That’s where Ohanae steps in to protect your files anywhere they travel, giving you full visibility, control, and assisting your compliance with mandatory government regulations.  With Ohanae, your business can be more productive and agile, and deliver new levels of trust.

Secure content beyond Salesforce, in mobile devices, email, social, and file shares

Organizations share information.  The reality today is that files are usually stored and shared in cleartext, unencrypted, with no visibility and no control.  The majority of users lack access to, or ignore encryption capabilities, as they create and share their files. With Ohanae, whether your employees are emailing sensitive attachments, passing around financial models on easily-lost USB flash drives, or are using unsanctioned cloud storage tools, you can be confident that all internal and external collaborations are secure.

Secure File Sharing with Anyone in a Whole New Way

Ohanae secures file sharing service for Salesforce Chatter enterprise social network, Salesforce Files and file synchronization & sharing tools (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive), and email attachments to make the sharing of files and passwords safer, faster, and more private.  Ohanae is unique because it allows security to travel with shared files. This gives organizations full visibility and control over all communications. Once a document is protected, even if it is copied on a USB flash drive, stored on your laptop or on your mobile phone, stored in any cloud provider’s storage of your choice, the document carries the same protection. Ohanae goes further than typical encryption technology by adding policies and yet, Ohanae never has access to the data.

Ohanae for Salesforce Summer ’16 Release

• Secures the flow of protected files resident on all user’s devices, as well as those in the cloud. Ohanae encrypts all important file types, then lets these files be used by everyone in a user’s collaboration group (not just within the user’s organization).  In short, users can now securely share any content with anyone, whether they are inside the group, or not. Outsiders can sign up for a free Ohanae Personal account. This offer lets the users external to the organization consume and produce protected content on a single device of their choice (Personal Premium subscriptions are also available @ $2 per user/month with multiple devices support).

• Logical role-based access control (Company, Role, Group, User) based on Salesforce Identity with additional universal rights management powers such as document tracking, revocation, and limited-time access support.  

• The easy to use mobile sharing app can be downloaded from popular app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play, and Windows Store).  The desktop sharing app (Windows Desktop, and Mac OS) is designed for experienced users who require added functionalities.    An Ohanae for Salesforce managed package can be downloaded today from the Salesforce AppExchange.

• Enterprises can designate specific folders within Salesforce Files, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and automatically extend extra protection and data control to documents placed in those folders. Then, as those files are shared, downloaded, or emailed, Ohanae’s protection follows the files wherever they go. For businesses who are highly collaborative externally, this is a great way to ensure protection of content that extends beyond the usual shadow-IT file synchronization and sharing tools.

• Trust is achieved when security is paired with visibility and control. When files are emailed outside of an organization, or downloaded from a shared link, enterprise protections are often lost.  By protecting files with Ohanae, you always retain the ability to see exactly where that file has traveled, who has accessed it, even when   an unauthorized access is attempted.

• Ohanae permits you to instantly revoke access to files and devices:  It’s like having a recall button that actually works.

To experience how you can empower your company to share its files securely with anyone in a whole new way, try out Ohanae for Salesforce, it’s available on the AppExchange today.

Corporate America, you've been hacked

Sony Cyberattack, First a Nuisance, Swiftly Grew Into a Firestorm. More than 100 terabytes of internal files and films had been stolen, internal data centers had been wiped clean, and 75 percent of the servers had been destroyed. The F.B.I. found that the hackers had used digital techniques to steal the credentials and passwords from a systems administrator who had maximum access to Sony’s computer systems. Once in control of the gateways, theft of the information was relatively easy.

As we bear witness to the destructive cyberattacks on Sony Pictures, it becomes clear that nobody is safe, we are entering an entirely new era of “cyber-vandalism”.  Those who do not implement cloud data protection will be the next ripe targets. Those who do not change their approach to cloud data protection will lose. The Sony hack has taught us so much. It’s taught us to send corporate email as if everyone is reading those emails. It’s taught us that people in Hollywood are just as mean as people in any other industry, with equally fragile reputation.   Bottom line: This hack is estimated to cost Sony $100 million after all is said and done, and jeopardizes executive careers.

Trust No One…Encrypt Everything

Cloud-First, Mobile-First era requires businesses to adopt the discipline of Trust No One, Encrypt Everything! The Sony hack could have been mitigated if these stolen files had been uniquely encrypted, with only the authorized users (internal/external) in the shared list (embedded in the document header) able to decrypt the files; and, most importantly, if the decryption could only be carried out from an authorized computer or mobile device.

Assume you’re Always under Attack

Enterprise IT is heavily relying on security features provided by cloud vendors but most of the SaaS vendors do not make security a first priority, and so they fail to provide sufficient data governance, data privacy, data sovereignty, and built-in compliance. CIOs and CISOs have realized that maintaining enterprise-grade security in cloud application usage is a shared responsibility, as traditional infrastructure security technologies that are based on the idea of perimeter defense have become obsolete. The perimeter is dead; mobile devices wounded it and the cloud finished it off. Applications today are mobile, so security must be built to move with them.

Ohanae develops security tools to facilitate secure document collaboration using enterprise social platforms, and file sync and share tools that are based on the core assumption that it is impossible to tell good from bad. Our security models focus on eliminating attack vectors, and move away from the never-ending battle of separating “good” from “bad”.

Secure Document Collaboration for Salesforce Users

Ohanae offers near boundless innovations for these new approaches by securing your files in Salesforce cloud, along with your Salesforce credentials. Unlike anyone else, Ohanae takes this two-prong approach to fully secure your data through zero knowledge encryption resulting in:

• Easy to use secure file sharing via Chatter and Communities, Salesforce Files guest link, Skype, iMessage, email attachment, and USB flash drive.
• Assurance that sensitive files in the Salesforce Files are encrypted and only you have the encryption key.
• Access to unique complex passwords without the need to remember them.
• Full-fledged logging in compliance with government regulations. Ohanae monitors your private and shared files uploaded/synced to the Salesforce cloud.

How it Works?

In cases of document sharing, files are encrypted using unique encryption keys which are associated with specific recipients. This allows other Salesforce users to receive encrypted files from you without their knowing any of your critical security data, while maintaining the same level of data security.

For private files in Salesforce Files, Ohanae transparently encrypts files using a highly secure key that is generated on each use and not stored on the device or in the cloud. This encryption prevents access to documents by unauthorized users who might compromise your cloud storage account.

Finally, the password management function ensures that your Salesforce credentials are unique. These unique, highly secure passwords are dynamically created and then erased locally from your desktop or mobile devices. They are never stored on either the device or in the cloud.

Pricing and Supported Platforms

Now available for download, Ohanae is free for single device use. Multi-device business use (up to 8 devices) costs $2 per user/month. Enterprise use costs $3 per user/month with a centralized management capability from an intuitive web interface. Ohanae supports Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows Store App, Windows Desktop and Macintosh, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Firefox.
