Storage Made Easy Announces FIPS 140-2 U.S.

Federal Government Validation

of Its Enterprise File Fabric Cryptographic Algorithm

The Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Fabric enables encryption of third party on-premises and
on-cloud data stores - the security algorithm used is now FIPS 140-2 validated.

London, United Kingdom, December 19, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Storage Made Easy today announced that
the Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Fabric platform's cryptographic module is Federal Information
Processing Standards Publication 1402 (FIPS 140-2) validated having been certified compliant by a
third-party testing lab. The FIPS 140-2 validation process examines the algorithms used in the
cryptographic component of the software. The FIPS 140-2 security designation represents the highest
level of data encryption and is recognized for its thoroughness. It is a mandatory requirement for
providing services to federal government and other highly secured organizations.

The Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Fabric solution provides a governance hub for on-premises and
on-cloud data stores enabling common policies and restrictions to be set across the fabric of a company's
corporate data assets. It can also provide additional security controls such as AES 256 encryption to
provide re-assurance over and above generic "at rest" security that storage or cloud providers may
provide.

Storage Made Easy's use of FIPS 140-2 compliant algorithms for cryptography makes it suitable for
protecting sensitive personal data on third party data stores and is fit for purpose for GDPR data
protection requirements in which the encryption is transparent to end users.

Jim Liddle, CEO of Storage Made Easy, said: We are well known for providing a unique governance
solution across corporate data stores. The Enterprise File Fabric product is used by some of the
best-known companies in the world as well as across government bodies, healthcare and finance
organizations. Why do companies choose the Enterprise File Fabric? The reason is that when it comes
down to it no-one really offers an end-to-end governance and compliance enforcement platform like we
do and the alternative is cobbling together and integrating a number of third party solutions which not
only leads to cost but also additional risk. FIPS 1402-2 validation is key for one specific feature we offer,
encryption of third party data and we view it as another milestone on our enterprise journey and an
additional assurance for our customers.
