Experts Croc on information security note that the practice of file sharing which developed in many large organizations, including big on capacity, between employees it becomes frequent the channel of information leak. File services in the local area network are inconvenient, search of the necessary document in unsystematized "storeroom" takes a lot of time, in process of accumulation of files costs for storage grow. And free file exchange networks which employees use if in the company the regulations of process of file sharing are not developed bear in themselves risks of information security that it was repeatedly proved by examples of unauthorized access to the documents placed in them. Such public file hostings, as a rule, have no modern means of protecting, and malefactors can get an information access by simple selection of passwords.

Unlike public file hostings, the Croc Disk is reliably protected from leakages of any sort. Service is placed in the cloud platform certified by PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, the standard of the industry of payment cards). It means that infrastructure of a cloud and processes of its operation correspond to some of the most strict world requirements on information security. Technically the cloud Croc is protected by the built-in means of protecting on all perimeter: software tools from DDoS attacks, network analyzers, two-factor authentication are used. Data from loss in Croc the Disk are prevented by duplication of copies of files on two data centers carried from each other. In general, data protection as the main criterion of work of service is registered in strictly regulated SLA Croc.

At the same time it is convenient to work about the Croc Disk. Training or special skills is not required: The Croc Disk has the intuitive interface, folder structure is usual for users of Windows. Service is multifunction, unlike free analogs: in it such functions as restriction of downloadings or term of storages of files, joint work with directories are supported. Besides, the Croc Disk is optimized for all popular platforms (iOS, Android), with it it is possible to work also on mobile devices, and on computers via the browser.

The Croc Disk in Ekonika is used daily for exchange of internal documents. The retailer formalizes exchange of documents between employees, simplifies communications, reduces load of a mail system and communication channels, nullifies risk of possible information leak through public file exchange networks. The cost of rendering service for the customer depends only on the number of users, the volume of the data placed by them in the Croc Disk is actually not limited. Such form of settlement is convenient and predictable for Ekonika: the management of retail chain stores can easily predict costs for corporate filesharing.

"About convenience of a system of corporate filesharing we can judge by how it is perceived by employees. It is no secret, that if the system recommended by the management is inconvenient, the personnel will continue to use more usual and clear alternatives. About the Croc Disk of it, fortunately, did not occur. Managing directors of our shops positively estimated changes, process of change of a system of corporate filesharing was painless, and we can observe effect already now — management of a branch network became more transparent, decision-making speed increased. Our choice Croc of the Disk first of all was influenced, of course, by technical characteristics of a cloud in which service is placed. And regarding information security, and on fault tolerance and the continuity of working capacity the cloud platform Croc far is ahead of competitors".
