Macnica Networks Corp. (hereinafter referred to as Macnica networks, head office: 1-5-5 Shin-Yokohama, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama, President: Jun Ikeda), which provides solutions such as security measures, networks, AI, DX, etc., has announced the following: We are pleased to announce that we have started selling ``Mail2Cloud,'' a service by mxHero that provides full cloud email management services.

In November 2020, the Minister of State for Digital Reform announced a policy to stop the use of password-protected Zip files at central ministries and agencies, and recently many methods have become a hot topic regarding ``PPAP abolition''. PPAP is an abbreviation for "Send a Zip file with a password, send a password, An encryption (encryption) Protocol." It refers to exchanges sent by email.

The problems with PPAP are that virus checking does not work for Zip files with passwords, and since the password transmission path is the same as the Zip file transmission path, there is a possibility of eavesdropping. It has also been pointed out that the recipient has to decompress the Zip file every time they receive it, which reduces business productivity. With the rise of telework due to the COVID-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, checking attachments has become more dependent on individuals. Once an attachment is sent by mistake, it cannot be canceled, and many security incidents related to attached e-mails have occurred in companies.

Under these circumstances, Macnica networks for which we have been a primary distributor in Japan since 2013, provides a secure and convenient external file sharing solution that links the content cloud "Box" and "mxHero". We have set up a system.

mxHero's "Mail2Cloud" is a full-cloud service that enables secure and efficient email management in cooperation with various cloud storages. By linking Mail2Cloud and Box, email senders can attach files to emails and send them as before, and the attached files will be automatically uploaded to Box and a shared link will be generated. Instead of an attached file, the recipient of the email will receive a Box shared link in the email body, and they can check the file simply by clicking on the link. achieve improvement.

The email sender can check file changes and access records even after sending, and can remove the shared link from Box if the wrong file is sent. Various rules can be set according to the operation of the company, such as specifying the folder to store each recipient, changing the security settings of the shared link, etc. In addition, by moving attachments to Box, you can reduce the storage size of your Box, so you can expect a reduction in storage usage costs.

In this way, the collaboration between Mail2Cloud and Box will help reduce security risks associated with attachments, improve convenience for both senders and recipients of emails, and improve the convenience of Box for many companies promoting digital transformation (DX). You can solve business problems related to traditional email content, such as reducing storage usage costs.
