Deaddrop

Deaddrop is a web based secure file transfer appliance. Deaddrop is used for transferring files between individuals or groups of people as easily as possible. It is designed from the ground up with security in mind. Operating system, sub systems, web server and web applications are all hardened. Usability and strong security features were key design properties built in from the beginning when we developed Deaddrop.

Only by having an appliance does one have control over file imports and exports into an organisation. The Deaddrop virtual appliance allows you to have a policy-compliant way to transfer information, to have security controls in place that you configure and control.

Example use cases for Deaddrop

A controlled way to export sensitive files to third parties, e.g. contracts or reports, to get access control, secure transport and not least an audit trail with time-stamped upload and download receipts.

A printing company that needs to receive large files. Sensitive files should not be sent by traditional unencrypted FTP or email.

An internal distribution mechanism, like a data lock, between different security zones, where only certain files are allowed to be transferred in certain directions.

As a file distribution mechanism for projects working with internal and external partners.

A choke point and control point for importing files to an organisation, for example patches and executables that are not covered by automatic patch solutions (e.g. WSUS).

A controlled way to export documents to members of the board, with full access control, secure transport and not least an audit trail with time-stamped upload and download receipts.

A data washing machine that is used to check that only allowed content is exported, and that information is checked before being forwarded.
