Internxt is proud to be one of the first cloud storage companies to protect business and individual data with the world’s most advanced encryption, post-quantum cryptography. Our post-quantum encryption protects your files and data from the potential threats of quantum computers that hold the power to break current encryption protocols due to their superior ability to solve complex algorithms in minutes or even seconds.

When it comes to securing your business, visibility into your company’s devices is key. As we so often say, you can’t protect what you can’t see. What’s more, visibility into your devices needs to be accurate and current – your IT security and operations teams can’t protect your environment if they’re working from data that’s hours (or days or weeks) old.

Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosting service that extends scalable and secure virtual computing systems known as instances. They allow users to have their applications hosted in a scalable environment whereby computing resources can be easily scaled up or down as necessary. EC2 provides several instance types that can handle a variety of uses, from general-purpose and compute instances to those designed for memory-intensive applications.

Cloud security has reached an inflection point. Organizations have accelerated their cloud adoption and must navigate a complex threat landscape where workloads spin up and down in seconds, applications deploy continuously and identities span multiple services and providers.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, securing software systems has never been more critical. Cyber threats continue to exploit systemic vulnerabilities in widely used technologies, leading to widespread damage and disruption. That said, the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) helped shape best practices for the technology industry with their Secure-by-Design pledge.

On January 13, 2025, Halcyon released a research blog about the Codefinger group conducting a ransomware campaign targeting Amazon S3 buckets. The attacks leverage AWS’s Server-Side Encryption with Customer Provided Keys (SSE-C) to encrypt data. The threat actors then demand ransom payments for the symmetric AES-256 keys required to decrypt it.

Businesses are generating more data than ever, with 60% of company data being stored in the cloud, and businesses are storing 48% of their most important and sensitive data using some form of cloud storage. Even though businesses are using cloud storage, the risk of data breaches or attacks on company data is at the highest it's ever been, with 24% of breaches involving personal data and costing companies, on average, $4.88 million.
