FileFlex is advancing global acceptance and distribution for its ground-breaking edge cloud technology

TORONTO - May 21, 2019 - PRLog -- Collision Conference – Qnext, an innovator in edge-cloud file sharing and collaboration today announced it is now able to utilize the enclaves of Intel^® SGX for its FileFlex remote access, sharing and collaboration platform that lets Microsoft Office 365 users more securely access files and folders from source locations at the edge of the network. Additionally, FileFlex is rapidly gaining global attention with a growing network of distributors and end users in North America, Asia and Europe.

Qnext, selected as a 2018 Red Herring Top 100 Global winner for disruptive technology with its FileFlex product is an innovator in file sharing and collaboration software based on edge computing technology and its ability to utilize the protected enclaves of Intel® SGX.  It is differentiated in that it uses a decentralized or edge cloud computing architecture instead of the traditional centralized cloud model.

"Software alone is clearly no longer enough to combat advanced cyber threats – hardware enhanced solutions based on Intel® silicon innovations in security offer improved protections," said Jim Gordon, General Manager, Intel Platform Security Eco-System, Strategy and Development. He went on to say, "In this innovative example of the approach, now users can share Microsoft Office 365 files from source locations using an end-to-end, silicon-to-silicon enhanced security application. This provides a critical missing piece in the solution path to a more secure enterprise."

According to Vivek Gautam, head of digitalization and blockchain practice, Markets & Markets, "Combining Intel^® SGX technology with FileFlex Enterprise provides a solution that helps offer confidentiality, integrity and extra security with a minimal impact on existing processes and infrastructure."

Intel^® SGX helps in improving FileFlex Enterprise security and means Microsoft Office 365 users do not need to sync their shared files to the cloud when they share them.  And Intel^® SGX helps protect code and data against manipulation of other software, such as the operating system, device drivers, firmware and BIOS. Intel^® SGX enables FileFlex Enterprise to bring a fundamental change to enterprise security.

"Organizations that deploy Intel^® SGX technology and FileFlex can literally light up the network by sharing and collaborating with others across the globe – and their content remains in its source location – no syncing or duplication," said Anthony DeCristofaro, CEO of Qnext, the developer of FileFlex Enterprise. "This is a true on-premise solution with no private cloud and no costly infrastructure. It is a step forward in content access, sharing and collaboration – and with Intel^® SGX, FileFlex becomes a hardened silicon-to-silicon process which means content stays more secure and compliant. FileFlex improves an organizations security posture, allows access to all content, ensures privacy and accelerates compliance to GDPR and HIPAA."
