An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Calamu provides secure data storage that inputs unstructured data from a variety of corporate sources and then compresses, encrypts, and fragments the data. Calamu then re-encrypts the fragments and scatters them, typically to multiple clouds. It also mirrors them for redundancy in the case of cloud compromise or failure.
Inputs can include departmental file shares, end-user files, backups and snapshots, and cloud objects. It’s possible to configure Calamu to work much like Microsoft OneDrive on the desktop.
Attackers looking to compromise corporate data would at best be able to access an individual encrypted fragment, which would be useless to them. Calamu thus protects against both data exfiltration and malicious encryption, ransomware’s two primary modes of operation.
Configuring the Calamu back-end is straightforward, as the platform can store the fragments in any cloud or on-premises data store – and moving from one data store to another is straightforward.
