We are pleased to announce the release of Cryptshare Version 2.6.2

By: mke

With version 2.6.2, Cryptshare has become even more stable and improved its performance and security. The following changes and improvements have been made:

  • Changes have been made to improve session handling for lengthy uploads.
  • Company name can be displayed better in the Administration Interface.
  • Improved layout in the log view of the Administration Interface.
  • Performance of the logging mechanism has been enhanced to allow more transfers to happen at the same time.
  • New improved verification mode for parallel use of Cryptshare for Notes/Outlook and Cryptshare Robot.
  • Enhanced security  in the upload progress bar.

Together with the update to Cryptshare version 2.6.2, we will roll out the new appliance package version 1.2 to those of you who are using a virtual or hardware appliance. With this new package, the administration of the appliance infrastructure becomes a lot easier. Apart from a better handling of the command line admin tool, we have improved the management of SSL certificates in the admin tool.

Cryptshare versions prior to 2.6 and version 2.6 and higher do now have separate repositories that can be set. The appliance package will automatically point your system to the correct repository based on the version installed.

As a result, your appliance will first auto-install the new appliance package and then download and install Cryptshare version 2.6.2 the following night. No user action is required.


The business of Wetzel Group depends on sharing high-resolution patterns of work with our partners as a key part of our global business activities and the speed of these transactions makes a lasting contribution to our business success. The fast and secure exchange of reprographic information with our customers is a sensitive phase in our commissioning process, security is critical. We have decided to use Cryptshare for these time and security sensitive transfers as a key part of our business process.
 
Besides making it really easy to transfer large files, we also solve the issues of e-mail encryption using the Cryptshare Outlook plug-in. This gives us a client to client encryption of mail and sensitive file attachments and is used across many roles within the company; Cryptshare is easy and can be used immediately and does not require any exchange of certificates for the encryption process
 
The simplicity and ease of use has convinced our users immediately and now they don't want to be without Cryptshare. All in all a great success!

"After searching for over 18 months for a secure way to transfer large files I discovered Cryptshare. This solution instantly drew my attention because Cryptshare exactly addressed our business requirements. Cryptshare was very easy to get started and the initial Cryptshare licenses were deployed in the Netherlands. Based on enthusiastic responses from the users we have deployed Cryptshare throughout Europe. Cryptshare is for us a far better option than FTP or sending confidential data via couriers. Cryptshare provides a cost effective alternative and saves us the costs of couriers, and it is very easy to use. We can now exchange files with our external partners who get access to the files we sent them via a user friendly branded interface in the browser used by the recipient."

"Like many specialist engineering companies we exchange files with customers, suppliers and partners often.  By using Cryptshare we reduced the effort and the cost for these file transfers significantly. In addition Cryptshare increased safety and security of the content of the files compared to the previous use of e-mail.

The very easy-to-use interface makes user acceptance of Cryptshare very fast and the acceptance of Cryptshare is so good that even in-house file transfers are now made via Cryptshare . "

Klaus Knayer, CIO  Recaro GmbH & Co. KG

"Like many specialist engineering companies, we exchange files often. Where possible files were sent as e-mail attachments because it is easy. Very large files were exchanged with our business partners via FTP servers in the past. However to maintain confidentiality we needed additional tools from third-parties which added complexity and cost.

When Cryptshare came to our attention it seemed like a good fit and now Cryptshare has become the standard tool for file transfer, regardless whether the files are large or small, confidential or not. Our investment in Cryptshare paid back almost immediately due to better and less expensive workflows."

Kai Hügle, CIO of Mack Rides GmbH & Co. KG

“We had looked at several solutions and found them to be either very complex, very expensive or both. Cryptshare came to our attention and we could immediately see how it could solve many of our compliance and security needs.  The fact that it also reduced the load on and costs of our e-mail services was a bonus. Cryptshare has made the product really simple to use which was important for us as it allowed us to deploy the solution fast and without the need for training. If a user can use e-mail then they can use Cryptshare.  Overall the project has been a great success and a quick win, I would strongly recommend any business to try it.
