The consumerization of the mobile and bring-your-own-device trends continues to gain exponential momentum in 2014. According to an infographic published this week in Information Week, 90% of employees use mobile phones at work, and 35% use personal tablets at work. Furthermore, employees use an average of 21 different apps at work. Although email remains the most often used, document-centric apps, including file sharing are now used by more than one in every five employees.
InfoWorld goes a step farther in an article this week, calling CIOs and business leaders to proactively embrace the two trends rather than just reacting to the inevitable employee uptake. InfoWorld cites potential benefits from employee productivity to better communication and engagement with customers.
At Ohanae, we agree that comprehensive adoption of bring-your-own-device (and bring your own cloud services!) and mobile have significant advantages for the business. But, it’s important to adopt technologies that will protect the business against data loss, account compromise, and device theft or misuse.
Cloud Privacy Protection incorporates a suite of capabilities to allow BYOD, mobile, and user selected cloud-based file sync & share in a secure environment. Cloud Privacy Protection includes protection for data in transit to and at rest in the cloud file sync & share provider. It also includes secure file sharing between collaborators, regardless of the mechanism of sharing. Finally, it includes protection for user credentials — the credentials that provide access to raw storage of encrypted data.
With Ohanae’s suite of cloud privacy protection capabilities, enterprises can feel secure in embracing new trends that embrace cloud storage, pervasive mobile use, and bring your own device tablets and laptops.

TrueCrypt - What Now?
TrueCrypt, a package that supported on-the-fly encryption of file data through encrypted virtual disks, partitions, and entire file systems, was discontinued by its anonymous development team on May 28, 2014.
TrueCrypt served a definite need in the market place allowing sophisticated security-minded users to encrypt data locally. By moving TrueCrypt containers onto cloud providers like Dropbox and Box, TrueCrypt’s protective capabilities could be extended to the cloud. Although the anonymous fashion in which it was developed prevented standard certification that applies for most commercially developed software, a crowd-sourced effort to audit the software was in progress, and the encryption package had a public history of successful mitigation of attacks by sophisticated law enforcement agencies.
With its announcement, the TrueCrypt Foundation has suggested that equivalent filesystem encryption capabilities may be found natively in the operating systems for Windows (BitLocker) and MacOS (FileVault). However, these solutions do not fully replace the on-the-fly type encryption that TrueCrypt provided for users storing data off their local system, in the cloud.
For storage in the cloud, users can take advantage of Cloud Privacy Protection offerings. Ohanae Inc. is proud to offer previous TrueCrypt users an integrated solution for local storage and cloud based storage, with keys that are controlled (generated and used locally) by the end user. The Ohanae solution provides security for data at rest locally, in transit to cloud providers, and at rest in the cloud.
Migration from TrueCrypt to Ohanae is simple — with drag and drop or copy/paste functionality to move files from TrueCrypt containers into Ohanae Secure Drives. Ohanae pricing is attractive — with free use for single device users, and special referral bonuses to gain premium support for up to five years.
