 Security Tools : Cyberduck

Introduction

    Cloud storage is a kind of cloud computing that permits the keeping of data and files on the internet through the use of a cloud computing provider. You can access cloud storage using either the public internet or a specialized private network connection, depending on your preference. Your data will be stored safely, managed, and maintained by the provider, together with the storage servers, infrastructure, and network. This will ensure that you have access to the data when you require it, at a scale that is nearly unlimited, and with elastic capacity.

    Cyberduck is widely regarded as one of the most effective tools for cloud storage. Cyberduck is a file transfer protocol (FTP) client that supports both Windows and Mac OS X operating systems and comes with free cloud storage features. Cyberduck makes use of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to offer end users with access to files stored on servers and to manage data in various ways across a variety of locations. This includes choices for accessing files, modifying files, and storing files. It gives you the ability to upload and download files between your computer and the Pressable servers in a safe and secure manner.

Analysis on CIA

Confidentiality

It has high security features that makes it impossible to compromise data within its network. It encrypts every document to ensure that it is safe and can only be accessed by authorized users.

Integrity

A checksum is provided with the file data sent to allow the server to check the integrity. For WebDAV, OpenStack Swift uploads we also check the integrity of the file by calculating a checksum and comparing it with the response from the server after the upload completes. For FTP and SFTP no integrity check is performed.

 

Availability

Great tools, able access to the server once the server is hosted and client know the name of ftp server and the password.
