Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that ensures privacy when two applications – typically a client and a server – communicate. TLS dictates that to establish trust between the two applications, they must “shake hands” at the beginning of any communication session.
A TLS handshake is essentially a lightning-fast electronic conversation in which the two applications agree on how they will scramble the contents of their messages so that no outside party can read them. This scrambling process is called encryption, and the scrambling method is called a cipher.
At Redstor, we use TLS to create secure sessions between our data management agent (the client in this scenario) and the storage platform (the server). The storage platform supports the use of TLS 1.2.
Guarding against protocol downgrade attacks on your organisation prevents the stealing of login credentials or personal information, the interception and modification of communications, or the corruption of your data.
Redstor’s Data Centre Facilities
Redstor has invested heavily in data-centre facilities over a number of years to provide services with enterprise-level availability, security and resilience.
Watch our product demos to find out more about our solution.
We offer two-factor login authentication to protect your data against access by unauthorised intruders. This protection is provided by a trusted third-party identity provider of your choice, such as Microsoft or Google, which also helps to streamline user access and centralise permissions policies.
In an age in which data is a precious commodity that is constantly under attack, we take data security as seriously as you do. You can rest assured that your data will be safe in our hands.
During Redstor’s backup process, the individual blocks that make up your data are compressed and encrypted using the 256-bit AES in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) before they are transferred from your servers to our storage platform.
We also verify the integrity of each block of your data before it is stored for the first time. TLS is used to authenticate all data transfers.
