Citrix ShareFile secured by Windows Hello and Windows Information Protection
Point. Click. Share. More securely.
The newest version of ShareFile, the secure file sharing and storage solution used by 99% of the Fortune 500, now integrates two of top security features available in Windows 10 – Windows Hello and Windows Information Protection (WIP). ShareFile for Windows 10 is optimized for all devices and form factors (AIOs, laptops, 2-in-1, convertibles, tablets and phones) and is available as a free download for Windows 10 customers in the Windows Store today.
With the new ShareFile Universal Windows Platform app, customers will be able to sign-in faster, easier and more securely with Windows Hello* using biometric sign-in with a smile or fingerprint or alternatively using ShareFile PIN or Passcode. You can secure your ShareFile account with Windows Hello from “Settings” -> “Passcode settings”.
Also, Windows Information Protection (WIP) has been fully integrated in the ShareFile experience, enabling ShareFile customers to prevent unauthorized access to business data using WIP’s data separation, containment, and encryption capabilities. Users can freely copy content between business apps and documents, while WIP will help prevent business data from accidentally leaking to unauthorized locations (e.g.: personal documents or the public web) and applications. IT can optionally choose to empower select employees with greater use rights that enable them to publish business data to non-business locations. In this case, users will be advised to comply with business policies and informed that their actions will be audited. This managed separation creates data protection on demand for our ShareFile customers and means ShareFile users can comfortably use a single app for all their uses cases. ShareFile’s WIP integration works on shared devices and helps maintain protection when data is saved to removeable storage devices such as USB thumb drives.
With Windows 10 running on more than 400 million devices worldwide, we’re excited to continue to offer our customers convenient and secure solutions to transfer and share business documents and files anytime, anywhere.
*Windows Hello requires specialized hardware, including fingerprint reader, illuminated IR sensor or other biometric sensors and capable devices.
