As one of the leading providers of sovereign cloud solutions from Germany, SecureCloud is now protecting its award-winning productivity cloud with the Verdict-as-a-Service (VaaS) solution from Bochum-based security specialist G DATA CyberDefense. G DATA Verdict-as-a-Service checks suspicious files in real time. Customers upload the files to the service and VaaS compares the sample or the hash value with the G DATA Cloud and immediately provides a test result. If malicious code is hit, further handling of the file in question depends on the wishes of the using company and it can, for example, be immediately deleted or blocked.
SecureCloud hosts the G DATA solution in its highly secure German data centers. This ensures that customer data never leaves the company's own systems. G DATA CyberDefense has received numerous awards and guarantees the latest security standards for the highest demands.
“Data security is paramount”
Florian Kuckelkorn, Head of OEM Solutions at G DATA CyberDefense AG: “Our innovative protection mechanisms, such as AI-based malware detection, real-time monitoring and comprehensive prevention measures for other novel threats, complement SecureCloud's products. ”
Marcus Müller, founder and CEO of SecureCloud, adds: “Data security is our top priority. With G DATA, we have a partner at our side who, just like SecureCloud, sets and meets the highest standards for itself. The main reason for our cooperation was the German headquarters and the easy integration of the powerful cybersecurity solution.”
Sovereign clouds are becoming increasingly important
As the industry association Bitkom reports in its Cloud Report 2024, 64 percent of German companies are afraid of unauthorized access to sensitive data in the cloud. 52 percent are concerned about losing data. The importance of cloud solutions with company headquarters and server locations exclusively in Germany, so-called sovereign clouds, is therefore steadily increasing.
With the decision to integrate G DATA Verdict-as-a-Service, SecureCloud is continuing its strategy of ensuring the highest security standards and making the protection of sensitive customer data in the cloud a top priority.
