eSilo is commited to providing the highest level of security possible.
Our data centers are protected by a multi-level security infrastructure with limited access
to our customers. This network is only used for the eSilo system, which elimates unrelated
services from running in the network. The data stored with eSilo is encrypted prior to transfer
and remains encrypted until restored.
Data Security
All data is encrypted before transport using 256-bit
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
The key used during the encryption process is kept with the customer. eSilo does not have
access to this encryption key making it impossible for eSilo, a malicious hacker or
unauthorized persons to read the data. The data is only decrypted during a restore which
always occurs at the client's site.
Transport Security - EFS
The core of eSilo's technology resides in its proprietary Internet Protocol called
EFS (eSilo File Server).
Designed by eSilo Software and Network Engineers, EFS was specifically engineered for secure high speed
data transfers over TCP/IP. The EFS protocol incorporates:
- 256-bit AES encryption
- Message compression
- Secure message checksums
- Anti-eavesdropping
- Anti-tampering
- eSilo's SmartBit Incremental logic
- Asymmetric RSA Authentication
- Anti-replay attack
- Triple token user authentication (username, password, encryption key)
- Anti-MITM (man-in-the-middle) attack
The protocol was designed out of necessity after several months of research proved that no Internet
Protocol existed which met our requirements, including but not limited to: AFS, FTP, NFS and SMB (CIFS).
Network Security
eSilo servers are protected by a multi-level security infrastructure. Many different network security techniques
are in use, including firewalls, that help secure your data from digital theft or sabotage.
eSilo does not disclose what techniques it deploys in regards to the security of its network. We feel
your data is better protected keeping this a mystery.
