SHARE SENSITIVE DATA SECURELY | USE PUBLIC CLOUD STORAGE | CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY CONTROL ACCESS | MITIGATE EXPOSURE RISK

Encrypt First – Share Later
Transfer General (TG) allows data owners to distribute highly sensitive data securely while lowering their distribution costs. The TG enables organizations to make use of public storage to distribute data without fear of disclosure. The TG uses cryptography to empower data owners to remain in control of their data even after it has been distributed.

See How It Works

Transfer General is disrupting the confidential data market by enabling companies to share encrypted data.

Mitigate risk by encrypting data before sharing.

Transfer General is disrupting the confidential data sharing market by enabling companies to share encrypted data sets. The data owner can heave a sigh of relief knowing that the data that is being shared is safe because it’s encrypted on-premises and can only be decrypted on an authorized device by an authorized user at the other end. The Transfer General has two components – Transfer General Main(TGM) and Transfer General Remote(TGR).

TGM – TGR – Storage Bucket

TGM – A hardened virtual appliance deployed next to the source of the data-to-be -shared/distributed. The data is ingested into the TGM and the TGM encrypts it as soon as it receives it. Only you have access to the data encryption key. One TGM can support multiple partners. The TGM is generally deployed within a data center.

TGR – A hardened virtual appliance deployed within the partner’s network in the DMZ. The TGR decrypts the shared data and grants access to authorized users. The TGR can not operate independently. It must be paired with a TGM and it can only be paired with only one TGM. The TGM administrator controls all paired TGR devices and is able to cryptographically deny access to the data that is stored within a TGR even without direct access to it.

Storage bucket- The storage bucket is used to share data with multiple partners. The main benefit of using a cloud storage bucket is to be able to distribute large data sets and to lower the distribution cost. It is virtually impossible to make use of limited bandwidth that is generally available within a corporate network to share large data sets with multiple parties. The public cloud provides an excellent solution to this problem as long as you can adequately lower the data disclosure risk. We help you do just that – your data is encrypted before it is uploaded into a cloud storage bucket and it is never decrypted in the cloud thereby mitigating the possibility of a compromise due to cloud IAM misconfiguration or an insider attack.

The Transfer General is an ideal solution for sharing highly sensitive data with multiple partners located in geographically dispersed locations. It is a particularly suitable solution for regulated industries that share data with their partners and can be held liable for a data breach due to inadequate security measures put in place by their partner.

Share Highly Sensitive/
Regulated Data With Your Partners

Mitigate Partner Risk

The Transfer General encrypts data before it is shared with a partner. Once the data is shared with a partner it remains encrypted since it is stored in a device (TGR) that you provide to your partner as part of the initial setup. This hardened device sitting within the partner’s DMZ keeps the data safe and allows access only to authorized users.

Maintain Control Over Shared Data

Just because the data has been shared does not mean that you lose control over it. The TGM administrator can cryptographically deny access to the data that is stored within a TGR with or without gaining access to the device. Also, the TGR is designed to provide access on a need-to-know basis.

Conserve Compute Resources

Large data sets consume lots of computing power and/or bandwidth to share with multiple users. However, the Transfer General moves the encrypted data into a storage bucket so it can be shared with multiple partners without impacting your own corporate computing resources. It is worth noting that only encrypted data is stored in the storage bucket eliminating any possibility of disclosure due to cloud storage misconfiguration or due to an internal attack by a rogue storage administrator.

Archive Highly Regulated / Sensitive Data Using Cloud Storage And Maintain Confidentiality of Your Data

The Transfer General enables you to archive your regulated/sensitive data in private and public clouds so that you can cut down on your storage cost without exposing yourself to risks stemming from a data breach or non-compliance.
Since the data is encrypted before it leaves your network you know it’s safe to store it in a cloud platform. You can retrieve the encrypted data at any point and then decrypt it within the safety of your own network.

Store Regulated Data Securely

With data-at-rest encryption done on-premises, the Transfer General makes it easy for enterprises to store their regulated/sensitive data in a cloud storage bucket while preserving the sanctity of their data and ensuring compliance to avoid costly penalties.

Retrieve Data Anytime

Retrieve encrypted data from the storage bucket and decrypt it within secure confines of your own network at any time. This way you can maintain the integrity and confidentiality of your regulated data.

Lower Your TCO

Take advantage of cloud economics by leveraging low-cost long-term storage without exposing yourself to any liability due to non-compliance or a successful data breach.

Technical Features

TG encrypts data on-premises

TG encrypts files, object names, and meta-data on-premises before data is transferred into a cloud storage bucket or shared with a partner. The encrypted data can only be decrypted on an authorized device by an authorized user.

TG extends the data owner’s control


TG extends the data owner’s control over the shared data by allowing the data owner to cryptographically disable partner’s access to the shared data at any time.

TG provides a comprehensive audit trail


TG provides a comprehensive audit trail. Data security operations are logged at four different locations to achieve immutability.
