Web Hosting Search Names SkyDox's Collaboration Platform Best Web Tool of 2012

Online, June 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - SkyDox, a leading provider of cloud-enabled file sharing, synchronization, storage, and collaboration tools, today announced that it has been awarded the Best Web Tool 2012 accolade by Web Hosting Search, a trusted product information source for IT professionals and IT security consultants.

Web Hosting Search has spent nearly a decade working to bring transparency around web applications and for Information Communication Technology professionals. It is dedicated to helping users single out the products and software that deliver the most business value. SkyDox has been featured in the site's "Best File Sharing and File Transfer" category, an honor bestowed after Web Hosting Search conducted an extensive survey to determine the best products currently available on the market.

SkyDox's platform allows users to store, share, collaborate, and synchronize over 200 file types using any browser-enabled device. The platform goes beyond basic file sharing tools available today by enabling users to collaborate on their files, driving team and individual productivity. Users can co-author and manage files and document-centric collaborations in the office, remotely, and through mobile devices. The platform also delivers a range of social business tools, such as activity feeds, online meetings, presence indicators, and dynamic email alerts to users. SkyDox allows users to assign folder and document level access rights and permissions, designed to prevent the downloading or passing on of confidential files to another party without authorization. The platform also allows users to track file access and viewing at a page level also allows users to determine if, and when, the document was opened, with whom it was shared, and which pages attracted the most interest.

In order to meet enterprise availability requirements, SkyDox's data centers provide the latest secure, scalable infrastructure for its cloud platform. SkyDox's data centers in Europe, North America and Asia are ASHRAY, ISO 27001 certified for Information Security Management System (ISMS), and/or SAS70 audited.

All data hosted by the platform is SSL-encrypted in transit and AES-encrypted while at rest, and document access is password-protected and only granted to authenticated users.

"We have focused on developing a platform that meets enterprise requirements for a simple-to-use application that provides a secure environment for multi-party file sharing and collaboration," commented Ali Moinuddin, SkyDox CMO. "Our application continues to be recognized as feature-rich secure collaboration platform that makes inter-company and intra-company collaboration more efficient as well as meets most collaborative and file sharing requirements."
