AM File Exchange Features



Secure

Controlled data access
Access to the data is controlled by a comprehensive role and permissions management system. Before the data is accessed, the system checks the identity of the recipient using the user ID, password, and assigned permissions set. If necessary, two-factor authentication can be used. The administrators cannot view the users' data.

Powerful data encryption
All data is encrypted with an individually generated key using hybrid encryption with a key length of up to 4,096 bits, both during storage and transfer. This enables true end-to-end, user-to-user encryption for highly sensitive data. The data is decrypted at the user's workstation, but only if the user possesses the required personal key.

Easy to use

Easy operation using web browsers
AMbrace File Exchange can be used with all of the most common web browsers and requires no special training thanks its intuitive web interface. This means that no client software has to be installed on users' computers, thus minimizing operating costs and the need for support. This allows it to be used both as a desktop application and on mobile devices.

User Friendly
Users who are used to navigating with Windows Explorer can exchange data easily via drag-and-drop. You also see incoming data in your familiar folder structure and can download it from the portal with a single click. You can also use the "Send to" function to send any amount of data in encrypted and traceable form by simply entering an e-mail address.

Reliable

Interruption-resistant transfer
A special transfer protocol guarantees the robust data transfer of large volumes of data involving tens or hundreds of gigabytes, even in the case of instable Internet connections. The data is transferred in blocks, so that transfer operations that have been interrupted can be resumed at the same position at which they were interrupted.

Parallel transfer via multiple channels
The parallel transfer of data via multiple channels using multi-thread technology ensures that large amounts of data comprising several gigabytes can be transferred over long distances much faster than with conventional data exchange solutions

Flexible

Customer-specific branding
Custom-specific branding and a separate web address are available so you can use your own corporate design.

No operating or update effort
No operating effort on your part is required. During the initial setup, the system is configured in such a way that you can use it immediately and subsequently only have to perform administrative tasks for users and data exchange partners. The software updates required to guarantee the high level of security or make useful new functions available are, of course, included in the cloud service.

Audit compliant

Satisfying compliance requirements
The audit-trail-capable logging of all user actions and processes makes it easier to provide proof of compliance with statutory and company-specific requirements.

Automatic logging
AMbrace File Exchange stores every user action and every process in the database in an audit-proof manner so that they can be traced at any time by any user or administrator. This ensures a high level of transparency and makes it possible to perform a wide range of different searches over any period of time. The searches can be fully automated if required and can be made available as reports.
