Data Security
User authentication - All transactions with SkyDox must be executed from within the context of a personal, authenticated user account. Access to view or edit content stored or shared with the SkyDox platform is only possible once users have been authenticated by creating unique passwords and verifying their email addresses. SSL encryption - SkyDox encrypts personal information and digital content before it leaves the users computer with 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that no one else can read it. Application layer security - SkyDox stores all files in a proprietary, binary-fragmented format rather than the original format. This means that files are unintelligible except to users and guests who have gained authenticated access through the SkyDox platform.

Data Center Security and Availability


SkyDox cloud infrastructure is hosted by a range of fully accredited data center partners across Europe, Asia, and North America. SkyDox data center partners are ASHRAY, ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS), and/or SAS70 Type II audited/certified. North American partners are also Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) and healthcare-applications compliant with HIPPAs Security and Privacy Rules. Power - SkyDox partners provide power with a minimum N+1 power infrastructure configuration. This critical infrastructure offers the flexibility to scale as required without losing overall efficiency or disrupting the infrastructures availability. Security SkyDoxs partners data center buildings are protected with multiple layers of physical security: a perimeter fence, a security gate and entrance, an alarm system, mantraps, biometric access systems into SkyDoxs footprint, CCTV, trained security staff on site 24x7, and an external security firm to patrol the area both inside and outside. No one enters or leaves without proof of identity, and all visitors are checked against defined access lists.

Overview (continued)
Controlled environment - For optimum performance, all equipment is maintained and continuously monitored in a climate-controlled environment (chiller, CRAC, fire panels, generator, UPS, etc.). Multiple CRAC units provide redundant capacity (N+1). Fire-retardant walls, early-warning laser smoke detectors (VESDA), direct lines to fire stations, and automatic, gas-based fire suppression systems provide protection against fire. All the facilities infrastructures are monitored 24x7. Network infrastructure security - The core network infrastructure segregates traffic to prevent eavesdropping. SkyDox network gateways are hardened against spoofing attacks and employ packet filtering and policy routing. Unused switching device ports are disabled. SkyDox maintains independent, source-controlled package repositories and employs upstream package staging to secure binary packages, fast-track security, and bug fixes. Data access controls - SkyDox partners employ a variety of mechanisms and security checks to control data access. All SkyDox employees undergo criminal background, credit, and social security checks, as well as employment verification. Access to the network infrastructure is limited to facility managers and network engineers. Support staff use individually generated public/private key authentication, which is more secure than traditional passwords.
