NordLocker, the file
encryption tool developed by NordSec, the company behind NordVPN, is proud to introduce
a cloud storage add-on. The tool sets new standards for the way cloud storage
providers will treat user files in the future. The encryption tool has its own
cloud storage feature offering all-around encryption of users' data.
"NordLocker took a challenge to revise and turn
round existing cloud storage practices. Encrypting files first and uploading
them to the cloud of the same provider helps to avoid the involvement of
third-party vendors. All that can be done with a single move of drag and drop,"
says Oliver Noble, an encryption specialist at NordLocker.
User privacy is enhanced on both the device and
in the cloud, as both share the same encryption standards. Moreover, the files
are synchronized across all the devices of the user, but nobody besides the
owner can access the data.
"NordLocker is not just another cloud storage. It
is an encryption tool that offers cloud storage for your files. We believe it's
better. Most cloud storage solutions encrypt only the storage itself, leaving
files behind," says Oliver Noble.
Why one needs NordLocker
NordLocker is perfect both for personal use and
handling work-related data. In the wrong hands, private files, such as photos,
videos, cryptocurrencies, notes, and other types of data, can be viewed or
stolen.
"In 2017, pictures of A-list celebrities were
leaked from their iCloud. No compromising
pictures would have reached the public eye if the files had been encrypted,"
said Oliver Noble.
Beside personal use, NordLocker is a must-have
for companies storing their clients' financial, legal, or medical records or
deal with any other confidential information. In case of a breach, the
encrypted data remains safe and private. That's because NordLocker's
cryptosystem uses the most advanced ciphers and principles, featuring Argon2,
AES-256, and ECC (with XChaCha20, EdDSA, and Poly1305).
NordLocker features zero-knowledge privacy.
"Your data is not our business. Our encryption system is designed in a way
that prevents us from seeing what you keep," says Oliver Noble.
