The partnership delivers the industry’s first enterprise grade, end-to-end secure cloud storage platform.

• Real-time cloud vendor migration services without interruption of cloud service or data availability
• Compatibility and support for back-end, multi-vendor cloud structures from Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Fujitsu GCP/LCP, IBM Softlayer, Rackspace, WebDAV, SFTP, and others
• Multi-user, concurrent file-level access that prevents accidental file corruption
• Artificial Intelligence-based file caching algorithms enabling off-line user access to files with “five-nines” (99.999%) accuracy
• Access controls and encryption key management exceeding Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance standards
“Enterprises large and small face security challenges in taking advantage of the productivity and economics of cloud storage. Extenua Cloud2Drive makes shared cloud storage secure, easy-to-access and simple to deploy with either new or existing cloud storage deployments and providers,” said Extenua Chief Executive Officer Steve Visconti. “Applying superior encryption techniques and multi-modal biometric identity management features provides a secure, unified enterprise platform without precedent. No matter the cloud service provider and scheme deployed—public, private, and hybrid—the security, flexibility and cost savings of Cloud2Drive more fully leverage enterprise data assets.”
“Partnering with Extenua makes advanced biometric authentication for cloud storage a reality,” said, Jim Miller, Imageware Chairman and CEO. “Combining Extenua’s revolutionary secure cloud storage with GoVerifyID allows the enhanced levels of security the enterprise is looking for. ImageWare GoVerifyID™’s out-of-band biometric authentication product delivers advanced fraud-prevention capabilities to organizations. Biometric authentications including voice, eye, signature, fingerprint and facial recognition, provide an additional enterprise-grade security layers and fraud defense for cloud storage users.
