FileOrbis: A Secure, Integrated, Fast and Easy File Management Platform

FileOrbis: A Secure, Integrated, Fast and Easy File Management Platform

FileOrbis is a file management platform developed to keep pace with growing file systems, file sizes and sharing needs. While meeting end users' increasing demands for file access and sharing, it aims to minimize the time IT departments spend, along with technological threats and the risks arising from regulation and certification.

FileOrbis is a comprehensive platform that can integrate file servers, user profile files, individual user areas and network drives. FileOrbis does not focus solely on administrative matters such as access, permission management, file sharing and logging; by also integrating security and content analysis products (zero-day, anti-malware, DLP, sandbox and so on), it lets all file management systems interact together or in sequence, which makes for far more effective use.

FileOrbis is

- an on-premises enterprise file management system where you can reach your files from anywhere,

- manage the permissions and access rights on your files,

- share your files securely with internal and external users,

- put your files through security analysis and the related processes,

- and perform content and sensitive data analysis on your files, with unmatched usability and control features.

What does FileOrbis provide?

FileOrbis is a platform that lets you manage your existing file environments more securely, quickly and easily, without migrating them.

It brings every file environment your users access together on a single screen and gives them easy access to their files. It simplifies your users' file operations and their internal and external sharing. While your users gain a practical and secure working environment, you improve your ability to manage files, define user-specific access permissions, obtain detailed reports and analysis, and save the effort you spend on your end users' IT needs.

Key benefits

- Solves the VPN management problems around external file access.

- Prevents large email attachments from failing to send and email servers from becoming congested with attachments.

- Solves your access reporting and logging problems across all file environments.

- Eliminates permission chaos and unused files on file servers. It provides sensitive data analysis and ageing.

- Can be fully integrated with your corporate applications through flexible APIs.

- Ends the need for areas everyone can read and write to, and for USB drives. It creates shared working areas.

- Contributes to meeting legal obligations such as the KVKK and ISO 27001.

How does FileOrbis work?

FileOrbis communicates with many systems in order to manage files intelligently, and integrates with the technologies you use. You can think of FileOrbis as an IT unit working 24/7 that you have set up to improve your data management standards. FileOrbis manages file environments, NTFS permissions and your mobile and web access; it integrates with DLP, antivirus, SMTP, Active Directory and your domain-DMZ structure; and it replaces FTP and VPN services used for file access.

FileOrbis is installed on-premises within your own systems very easily and quickly. Integrating with your DMZ and domain definitions in line with your network design, it manages network drives, profile files and user files by synchronizing them with NTFS permissions — it does not require you to migrate your file environments or redefine existing permissions. Integrating with AD and OpenLDAP, it recognizes all users and their passwords automatically, with no need to create new users.

How secure is FileOrbis?

FileOrbis is currently used by many large organizations, including banks, healthcare providers, educational institutions and government agencies. FileOrbis provides end-to-end data protection with multiple layers of security at every stage of an operation. You can secure corporate data and be confident that it is well protected on company servers and employee devices.

FileOrbis divides its security processes into three stages: pre-process, process and post-process. The security steps sit mostly in the pre-process stage and aim to perform security analysis before a file enters the system. Every file to be brought into the system is met by the pre-process stage and put through security analysis before it enters. Files found to be safe are admitted to the system and passed through the process-stage security analysis, FileOrbis Filewall and the other security layers. In the post-process stage, end-to-end security is completed through detailed access reporting, permission analysis and, where necessary, the revocation of access — including access via links and email attachments.
