Encryption keys are well protected
The encryption key resides only on your computer and only you and your designated staff knows your unique key. System administrators, Konicom IT professionals and potential intruders will not be able to decrypt your key and look at your secure data without your permission.
The best encryption algorithm for ultimate data protection
How secure can encryption be? The algorithm that supports our encryption is 128-bit Twofish that was chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as one of five Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) finalists. This federal technology agency is engaged in cutting-edge research and assessment of security software. To date, the Twofish algorithm has proven too complex and no attacks against it have been reported. We are proud to offer this level of protection on our Sacramento remote backup system.
128-bit encryption require 8.77 x 1017 years to crack
A 128-bit key size has 2
128 or around 3.4 x 10
38 possible combinations. If you have the world’s best super computer such as an ASCI White, SP Power3 375 MHz with 8192 processors totaling a capability of 12.3 teraflops (trillions of operations/second), it would take 8.77 x 10
17 years to test all decryption combinations. Even when computers are a million times faster than they are now (about 20 years from now if they double in speed every year), it would then still take about 6 thousand trillion years, which is about a million times longer than the Earth has been around1. 128-bit encryption is extremely secure. You can be assured that your data stored on our server is totally secured.
Restrict access to data by IP addresses
You can also restrict access to your backup files by defining a set of "allowed" IP addresses. If someone tries to access your data from an unrecognized IP address, their access will be denied. This additional security ensures backup files are not open to all locations, even if the username and password are known.
Offsite Backup Security
Loss of data can be financially devastating for small businesses. It only makes sense to protect and backup data on a secure location so that your business remains uninterrupted no matter what happens at your brick and mortar site. Remote data backup is an area of expertise for Konicom. At our Sacramento remote data backup center, our IT professionals employ remote backup software with the best security and are dedicated to providing a secure environment for your data.
