Software Security Solutions Launches S3 DataSafe Online Backup
'Set and Forget' Protection Prevents Critical Data Loss for Home and Business Users
LAKEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 24 / / - Software Security Solutions, Inc. (SSS), a technology firm specializing in security solutions for home users and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), is adding automated backup to the company's featured Layered Security Solution. S3 DataSafe Online Backup offers users secure off-site storage of the critical information that resides on desktops, servers and laptops everywhere.
With S3 DataSafe Online Backup, secure remote backup servers gather data from users as files are modified and new ones are added. Data for backup is protected by 3-tiered encryption for maximum privacy and security as it is transmitted over the Internet:
- Before backup data leaves the user's computer, it is encrypted using secure 256-bit AES encryption standard.
- The transfer takes place over a secure 128-bit SSL tunnel.
- On arrival at the redundant remote data centers, the files are encrypted again and stored using military-grade 1024-bit AES encryption protocol.
As a fail-safe, all data is mirrored to a second geographically remote US data center.
"At Software Security Solutions, we've been helping companies secure their data for years from threats and exploits," says SSS CEO Monte Robertson. "But if they come to us with data loss because a disk drive fails or a computer is lost to fire or theft, there's little that we or anyone else can do if there are no backups. Without a data backup plan and process in place, individuals and companies are extremely vulnerable -- that's why it's a key step in our Layered Security Solution. S3 DataSafe Online Backup ensures that their critical data can always be recovered, no matter what goes wrong with their computers."
Should a user or business need to recover their data after a system failure or other disaster, the data can be downloaded to a new machine or transferred to an external disk drive and sent overnight for quick disk-to-disk restoration of all files and data. This approach offers significant practical advantages over services that offer only a download option which, for larger amounts of data, could take days.
A fourteen-day free trial of the service is available. Prices for backup subscriptions start at less than $2 per gigabyte per month, with the price per gigabyte decreasing for larger storage requirements.
