(London, Feb 2020), iStorage, the award winning and trusted global leader of hardware encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices is delighted to announce that the cloudAshur hardware encryption module, winner of the UK IT Industry Award's Security Innovation of the Year award, is now shipping and available for purchase.

Due to the uniqueness of the cloudAshur, iStorage are hosting weekly webinar sessions, which will take place every Wednesday at 4pm GMT. The webinar will demonstrate how to use cloudAshur and how it solves Cloud data security and privacy problems by allowing users to securely encrypt, share and manage data stored in the cloud. cloudAshur can also be used to encrypt data stored locally on a PC/MAC and encrypt data shared via email attachments and file sharing services.

Introducing the iStorage cloudAshur:
The patented cloudAshur is the perfect solution for any organisation wanting to securely encrypt, store, share, manage and monitor data, working with numerous cloud providers including Dropbox, Amazon Drive, OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud and many more. The revolutionary, UK designed and developed, cloudAshur eliminates vulnerabilities that exist with cloud platforms, such as lack of control, unauthorised access and human error.


The cloudAshur solution consists of:

cloudAshur Hardware encryption module:
The cloudAshur PIN authenticated USB Hardware Security Module encrypts all data in transit and at rest with a FIPS-certified randomly generated AES 256-bit encrypted encryption key, which is stored and protected within a dedicated iStorage secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL 4+ Ready).

cloudAshur KeyWriter:
The iStorage patented KeyWriter software enables the required number of cloudAshur modules to be cloned with the same encrypted encryption key allowing real-time, ultra-secure collaboration with authorised users regardless of location.

cloudAshur Remote Management Console:
The iStorage cloudAshur Remote Management Console (RMC) gives you full control of all cloudAshur hardware security modules deployed within your organisation, offering features such as the ability to disable or reset (remote kill) users' cloudAshur modules, view user logs, display user location, restrict the time and location each user can use their cloudAshur module, along with a host of additional features.

The cloudAshur solution can be used to:
o Securely encrypt data stored in any cloud platform
o Securely encrypt and share email attachments with authorised users
o Securely encrypt and share large files using file sharing software, such as
WeTransfer, with authorised users
o Securely encrypt and store data on a PC and/or MAC
o As the next generation of remote managed data storage solution
