Because businesses’ transferred large files must be kept confidential, Oodrive has maximised security at all levels of the large file transfer process in order to guarantee the confidentiality of its customers’ information.

Various methods of authentication and control optimise the application security guaranteed by Oodrive’s PostFiles large file transfer solution.

Secure password management

Each administrator of an Oodrive large file transfer solution is able to activate user password encryption using the signature of their choice (SHA1, MD5, etc.). They can also manage different settings for password selection (size, minimum number of characters, use of special characters, require a regular password update etc.) in order to comply with their company’s security policy.

Optimised access and large file transfer security

Large files transferred using the https or FTPS protocol are protected by encryption using an 128-bit SSL key (Class 3).

Secure storage of large transferred files

The administrator of the large file transfer solution can also enable encryption of all stored files, by selecting the algorithm used (128-bit AES, Triple DES etc.) and the key that will be used to encrypt the files. This makes it impossible for files to be read directly on the disks.

In addition, to optimise security, tree structures and the names of transferred large files are obfuscated and storage areas isolated.

Antivirus programs and transferring large files

The PostFiles large file transfer online interface now includes an anti-virus program that can scan all the items stored on your online transfer interface in order to detect any infected files.

You can configure how infected files are managed and notify the owner of the corrupted files by email. This anti-virus program and the rules for managing infected files can be activated from the supervision control panel.

Detect brute force attacks and send email alerts to the large file transfer platform’s administrator

Any attempt to "hack" someone's password through an exhaustive search (brute-force attack) is immediately detected by our control mechanisms. An alert system immediately refers this threat to the large file transfer platform administrator.

Strong authentication

The PostFiles large file transfer interface now supports strong authentication based on (x.509) and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) digital certificates. Strong authentication can be enabled for all users of the platform (internal and external). Through the certificates, it is now possible to guarantee the identity of users of the PostFiles large file transfer interface (non-repudiation).
