A story - Bank wants a Dropbox-like HTTPS/SSL based user interface
A personal banking services company in India has 1300 branches and more than 10,000 users. The bank offers a variety of services to its customers, including Internet banking, mobile banking, and online bill payment, etc. They have files on a CIFS storage. They don't want to expose the SMB shares directly. As a banking service provider, security is a top priority. For this reason, they were looking for a more secure solution to access the existing CIFS storage. Data loss prevention, digital rights management and anti-virus are some of the aspects they considered. They have researched Dropbox and are excited about some of its features. However, due to security concerns, they are leaning toward a Dropbox-like solution with a more controlled, more secure, and more web-oriented access, an HTTPS/SSL web-based user interface.
