As businesses move to the cloud for their document storage and sharing needs, the need for stronger and more persistent security at the file level has gained urgency. However, the dominant cloud providers still do not offer  enterprise-grade security and rights management solutions, even to their "business" customers. 

FileOpen aims to fill that gap by providing responsive document control, policy enforcement and tracking regardless of where the actual files are stored, including the cloud. We've also made it easier to use cloud services such as Dropbox as a secure document delivery platform, by automatically encrypting the contents of designated folders and seamlessly authenticating user access.

**1.** **Persistent Security**

**2. Uncompromised User Experience**

**3. In-depth Analytics**

**4. Built for Business**

While many vendors are moving to capitalize on the growing need for secure file sharing with yet another 'better' cloud sync and share system, FileOpen’s approach has always been to focus on the document security, not the device nor the means of distribution. By securing the file itself, but storing permissions separately, FileOpen can offer truly portable file security regardless of the endpoint.
