How should I manage user policy risks with tiCrypt?

It is difficult to "police" users about compliance in an institutional environment. Generally, there are fewer to no options to enforce policies before a cyber attack occurs.

The alternative is to add anything that seems like secure data into tiCrypt.

  • Non-secured projects are added into tiCrypt just in case they would contain any sensitive line that would make them classified.
  • tiCrypt has a mechanism designed to enforce compliance.
  • Researchers prefer stocking data into tiCrypt over other non-secured data storage.
  • tiCrypt Vault and VMs act as a single solution to multiple problems.

1. Add data into the Vault​

To add non-secured data into tiCrypt, navigate to the tab then select the My Files section on the top left panel.

  • Click the Upload button in the top right panel.
  • Select either the Files or Directories option.
  • Follow the instructions from upload a file section.
  • Optionally, follow the instructions from the drag-and-drop uploading section.

2. Move data from the Vault to the VM​

info
  • To start working with the data from your Vault, you must move it into a virtual machine.
  • A user can transfer files from their Vault into the VM. Transferring makes a copy, meaning that the original will remain in the Vault.

To transfer non-secured data from Vault to VM, navigate to the tab, in the Virtual Machines section.

  • Select the connected VM you want to transfer to/from.
  • Click the Transfer files to/from Vault button in the center-right.
  • Follow the instructions from transfer from the Vault to VM section.
