How can I ensure that sensitive data in the Parallel Secure Workspace remains encrypted and secure, especially when I need to collaborate with external partners or vendors?
I totally get where you’re coming from! That’s always a concern when you’re dealing with sensitive information. The good news is, there are a few steps you can take to make sure the data stays encrypted and safe, even when you’re working with external partners.
That’s good to hear! I’m just not sure where to start. I mean, how do I ensure it stays secure when I need to share some files externally?
First things first, make sure that any data you store in the workspace is encrypted both at rest and in transit. So, whenever you’re saving files or transferring them, the data should be encrypted using strong encryption algorithms. That’s non-negotiable. Have you checked the workspace settings to make sure that’s enabled?
I think so, but I’ll double-check. But what about when I need to share data with someone outside the team? What’s the safest way to do that?
Instead of sending files through email or unsecured methods, use secure file-sharing services. There are tools like OneDrive for Business, Google Drive, or specialized platforms that allow encrypted sharing. Some of these services even give you the option to control access, like setting passwords or restricting downloading.
