News on SecureSafe functions, privacy protection, and safety

Ransomware gangs target SMEs

Today, criminals hardly need any expertise for ransomware. Like other software, "blackmail Trojans" are offered as a bookable service. Smaller organisations are therefore now also increasingly at risk.

SecureSafe browser extension: Log in quickly and securely

With the new SecureSafe browser extension, things can be done quickly and securely: with just two clicks, user name and password are filled in on login pages so that you can log in to a selected online shop, e-mail box or streaming service in no time at all.

SecureSafe – More than just a password manager

With the SecureSafe password and file manager, password and file management is not only extremely secure, but you can also benefit from numerous additional functions. One function that we would like to introduce to you here is Password Autofill.

Beware of fake domain names

When logging in via a web browser, always make sure that the correct URL is in the address bar of your browser. Cyber attackers create deceptively realistic copies of web apps, online shops and eBanking systems in order to steal login data. The only correct URL for the SecureSafe web app is: app.securesafe.com.

Sharp rise in cyber attacks

We are currently experiencing an increasing number of cyber attacks. Please choose a strong password with at least 12 characters to protect your account.

Log in to SecureSafe securely and conveniently with Touch ID

We already learned at school that every fingerprint is unique. And that is exactly why Touch ID or a fingerprint is one of the most secure methods when it comes to securing and unlocking digital accounts. On top of that, this method is also very practical, because we always have our index finger with us. Now this secure and practical method has also found its way into the SecureSafe Desktop App for MacOs.

The data in the mountain

Whenever you store your files, photos, documents, or films in the SecureSafe, they make their way in encrypted form to our data centres, where they are secured multiple times. One of these data centres is located in a former military bunker in the Swiss mountains.

Data Inheritance: Correctly inheriting access data and digital documents

Apple is the latest example of a rising trend: more and more providers are adding a "data inheritance" function. This allows you to designate people who will have access to information, data and profiles after your death. Even better than such provider functions, however, are overarching services that often cover more than the company's own ecosystem.

How to make passwords more secure and less stressful

In many cases passwords are the key security factor standing between valuable data and an attacker. Making it all the more important to choose them wisely. On occasion of Data Privacy Day, we have some good tips for secure passwords.

Zero Knowledge Proof – protecting your own privacy

Zero knowledge proof is a method of proving knowledge about something without revealing the knowledge itself. This can be used, for example, to log in to a service without having to transmit the password. We explain how this works here.

Highly secure file manager

Every SecureSafe account includes a highly secure and privacy-protected file manager for your personal use. Here, you can upload and manage identity papers, contracts, insurance policies, certificates, wedding images and other files, which deserve special protection.

Secure file synchronization

With the SecureSafe Desktop App you can sync all team files between your personal computer and SecureSafe, ensuring all shared files are always up to date.

Send large files securely online

The SecureSend feature is included in every SecureSafe account and enables you to send files up to 2GB in size to any recipient of your choice. The recipient does not need to have a SecureSafe account to receive and download the files sent.

Your secure password manager

To stay safe online, you need a strong, unique password for each and every online account that you create. Use the SecureSafe password manager to keep track of your ever-growing list of passwords and avoid the risk of reusing weak passwords.

Team safes for secure business file sharing

Use our uniquely secure team safes to store, share and sync files with your team, company or organization. Team safes are shared workspaces, which you can access via any browser of your choice or directly from a dedicated folder on your work computer. Open as many team safes as you need to share files online with different teams, customers or external partners.

SecureSafe mobile app: Your digital vaccination certificate. Anytime. Anywhere.
