FileFlex™ Enterprise uses a zero-trust architecture to provide secure remote data access and collaboration to a hybrid-IT infrastructure of on-premises and cloud-hosted storage, and puts it under IT control. "FileFlex is the right technology for DoD and the rest of government's applications. As we move to a zero-trust architecture with increased remote operations and a need for decreased operational risk, FileFlex is critical for this successful implementation," said Brown.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has given DoD and government organizations a new policy standard that really enhances security.  FileFlex Enterprise offers a ground-up system architecture that follows the Zero Trust guidelines rigorously.

"We are thrilled to have Mike Brown join our strategic advisory team," said Anthony DeCristofaro, president and CEO of Qnext.  "Mike will help us to route FileFlex to major organizations as part of an integrated cybersecurity strategy that brings advanced security to remote data access and collaboration and enables high-growth remote workforces on a local and global scale, yet maintains a comprehensive zero-trust, end-to-end encryption approach."
