Account Access

Deploy best-in-class security to prevent unauthorized use or access, and layer on Enterprise Control to help meet your full business continuity and data security standards for workstation data.

  • Group management controls to better protect your organization's data.
  • Single sign-on (SSO) via GSuite or Office365 available for all users.
  • Strategically manage multiple endpoints.
  • OIDC standard authentication including Okta and Azure AD.
  • Two-factor verification (2FA) via SMS or ToTP authenticator apps available for all users.

Data Transmission & Storage

Data is encrypted on your computer, encrypted during transmission, and encrypted while stored.

  • Personal Encryption Key (PEK): PEK option available for all users. With a PEK, Backblaze cannot access your data (in case of lost password, subpoena, or any other event).‍
  • Data Transferred via HTTPS: Using a strong protocol, a strong key exchange, and a strong cipher. We continuously monitor using industry standard, independent sources like SSL Labs. ‍
  • Public/Private Keys: 2048-bit public/private keys secure a symmetric AES-128 key.
