The wide access privileges of admins, if not carefully controlled, can become a vulnerability. ### Lack of Ransomware Protection SharePoint does not include specific ransomware protection features. This leaves the system potentially vulnerable to such attacks, which can encrypt critical data and disrupt operations. ### Insufficient Breach Protection Although SharePoint offers some security features, it may not provide comprehensive protection against all types of data breaches. The platform relies on additional tools and practices for robust defense against sophisticated cyber threats. ## Why do I need Sotero if I already have ransomware protection? ![SoteroAuditDash](https://info.soterosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SoteroAuditDash.png?width=1803&height=2000&name=SoteroAuditDash.png "SoteroAuditDash") ### Why do I need Sotero if I already have encryption? ### Avoid lock-ins and vulnerabilities with our platform that seamlessly integrates across various cloud service providers and internal data resources, ensuring flexibility and enhanced security with easy-to-use encryption and key management. Performance tax? Advanced encryption without Latency. Experience simple deployment, agentless integration, and scalable security, all while maintaining optimal performance. How does Sotero facilitate recovery? With Sotero’s ability to detect and stop an attack in minutes, the volume of data impacted is minimal. Sotero is able to identify the files impacted and enable a clinical restore in minutes. "Sotero provides the encryption layer between databases and applications that engineers can leverage without compromising data or lower segmented systems in charge that are missing the required levels of security." Amit Venugopal, VP, CIO at Sovos “As a cloud-based platform in healthcare, the ability to secure PHI is a key aspect of our data security commitment to our clients. Sotero enables us to meet and exceed these requirements. We chose Sotero because it allows us to keep PHI data secure during access.” Murali Menon Founder, CTO – ClinicalBox "Unlike other vendors in the data security market, Sotero scales with our client's needs, its REST API expands its platform's usability to non-coders."
