How SAST Enhances Product Security at Egnyte

In today's fast-paced software development environment, security can no longer be an afterthought. Product security aims to embed security at every stage of the development lifecycle, and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) plays a crucial role in this process. By scanning source code early in the pipeline, SAST helps developers catch security issues before they reach production.

The Future of CMMC Compliance

Since its initial release in January 2020, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) has undergone a series of fundamental changes. Fortunately, CMMC compliance requirements became much clearer when the US Department of Defense (DoD) published its CMMC Final Rule in October 2024. As a result, CMMC will have an impact on nearly every DoD contractor and subcontractor, and it’s anticipated that references to CMMC will be included in DoD contracts as early as March 2025.

Building a Scalable Permissions Service: Overcoming Challenges in Access Control

Permissions are at the center of every operation at Egnyte. Every interaction any user has with the system is bound to go through a stringent permission check,be it creating a file, copying it, moving it, sharing it, deleting it or using an operation as simple as adding comments. The permissions model is extremely crucial as without it, data leaks, incorrect access escalations, and unauthorized operations can occur.

Revamping Egnyte's Sharing & Permissions: A User-Centric Journey

Great product design not only boosts engagement but also improves user efficiency and productivity. At Egnyte, we understand this deeply and focus on bridging the gap between business requirements and agile feature development, ensuring a seamless user experience. The faster users grasp product features, the sooner they see a return on investment. To achieve this, we aim for intuitive and simple product design.

Data Durability at Egnyte: Understanding Our Cloud Object Store

In today's digital era, data is the lifeblood of any business, and at Egnyte, we're acutely aware of the need for data availability and durability. We have designed our specialized cloud file system, a harmonious blend of a file system and an object store, to meet these indispensable requirements. While we at Egnyte don't explicitly label ourselves as a data storage company, there's no escaping that we're in the business of persisting data—lots of it, into billions of files.

Google Workspace is a popular suite of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools that enables users to create, co-edit, and share documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. While Google Workspace has many benefits, more than the platform is needed to meet the needs of businesses looking for more control, security, and governance over their critical content. They need a partner solution that integrates seamlessly with Google and prioritizes secure content collaboration - in comes Egnyte.
