Abstract

Techniques are provided for securely storing data files in, or retrieving data files from, cloud storage. A data file transmitted to cloud storage from a client in an enterprise computing environment is intercepted by at least one network device. Using security information received from a management server, the data file is converted into an encrypted object configured to remain encrypted while at rest in the cloud storage.
