Ransomware attacks are currently the number 1 threat in cyberspace for companies. That's why protecting sensitive and business-critical data is becoming increasingly important. A file encryption solution can help with this.

With u.trust LAN Crypt Cloud, Utimaco presents a new, easy-to-use as-a-service solution to protect sensitive and business-critical data from unauthorized access. Client-side encryption ensures that data remains protected regardless of where it is stored - whether on premises or in the cloud.

Ransomware attacks on over 70 percent of companies

According to recent publications from Europol and Statista, ransomware attacks remain the biggest threat to companies in cyberspace. As of October 2023, over 72 percent of companies worldwide have been affected by ransomware attacks. File and folder encryption of corporate data should therefore be a key element of any cybersecurity strategy.

Prevent access to sensitive data

u.trust LAN Crypt Cloud makes implementing this strategy simple and particularly user-friendly, as it enables companies to prevent unauthorized access to protected data and ensure compliance with data protection regulations. This prevents misuse of data in the event of a ransomware attack: Attackers cannot threaten to publish stolen data because it is encrypted by u.trust LAN Crypt Cloud.

With easy setup in less than 15 minutes, businesses can benefit from the following features:

  • Encryption for every file type
  • Handling data in accordance with local compliance regulations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA, TISAX and more)
  • End-to-end encryption that ensures data is only decrypted on the client side
  • Role-based management of access rights
  • Transparent encryption – no changes to employee workflows
  • Secure cross-platform access to encrypted data
  • Permanent encryption: Data remains protected even when copied, shared or moved
  • Central overview dashboard
  • Platform-independent management – ​​no backend installation required
  • Microsoft Entra ID integration
  • Easy integration of external users
  • Automatic synchronization of encryption keys between users' devices
