Unite 24.1- How Raven Secures Data in Cloud
Handling encrypted medical data (cases, scans, and patient information) through 3Shape cloud storage involves several key processes to ensure security and convenience for the medical staff interaction.
Client-Side Encryption:
Customer data is encrypted at the client's application side using strong encryption algorithms. This means that before any data is transmitted to the cloud storage, it is already encrypted. This ensures that even if there is a breach in the cloud storage, the data remains secure as it is unreadable without the decryption key.
End-to-End Encryption:
The encrypted data remains encrypted throughout its journey to the cloud and during storage. This end-to-end encryption ensures that the data is protected not only during transmission but also while at rest in the 3Shape cloud storage database.
Secure Communication Protocols:
When transmitting encrypted data to the 3Shape cloud storage, secure communication protocols such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) or HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) are used to prevent interception or tampering of the data during transit.
Access Control:
Access to the encrypted data in the cloud database storage is tightly controlled through authentication mechanisms. Only authorized users with the proper credentials and permissions can access and decrypt the data.
Key Management:
Proper key management practices are implemented to securely store and manage encryption keys. This includes securely generating, storing, and rotating encryption keys to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to the data.
Data Synchronization:
One of the main benefits of using cloud storage is the ability to synchronize data across multiple devices seamlessly. Encrypted customer data stored in the cloud can be synchronized across all devices associated with the user, ensuring consistency and accessibility.
Offline Access:
Users can work offline with their data, knowing that any changes made will be synchronized with the cloud storage once they regain an internet connection. This allows for flexibility in accessing and updating data even when offline.
Disadvantages of not using 3Shape Cloud Database Storage
Lack of Synchronization:
Without the 3Shape cloud database storage, data is not synchronized across devices automatically. This means users would need to manually transfer and update data between devices, which can be cumbersome and prone to errors.
Limited Accessibility:
Data stored on your 3Shape Unite devices can only be shared locally, other users have no access to the data unless it is manually transferred.
Reduced Convenience:
Cloud storage offers convenience in accessing data from any 3Shape Unite device with internet access. Without cloud storage, users are restricted to accessing data only on the device where it is stored.
Local Sharing Only:
While local sharing between devices is still possible without cloud storage, it lacks the convenience and accessibility of cloud-based sharing, especially when dealing with remote or mobile devices.
