Top Reviews for Authentic8 Silo

Here’s what our customers say about Silo:

“Silo allows for flexible remote work policies because you can work securely anywhere and not just in the office.” – Mid-market User
Background: Silo provides 100% isolation from web code while enforcing IT policies regardless of computer or location; more information here.
“My security team uses Silo in testing and reviewing suspicious email links.” – Enterprise (1001-5000 employees) Executive
Background: Silo for Research users can click any weblink and download potentially malicious files to collaboratively examine or “detonate” them at arm’s length, outside their own IT’s perimeter; more here.
“I use Silo to validate phishing websites and download malicious files.” – Administrator in Financial Services
Background: Silo scans files for malware before downloading to a user’s device. Files saved to Silo’s isolated cloud storage will not be scanned. Users who are allowed to download a malicious file by policy, for example IT security professionals or online fraud investigators in a bank or payment processing company, receive a zip archive for further investigation locally.
“We use Silo for Research and can avoid the restrictions that some sites usually have.” – Senior Data Analyst
Background: Many organizations internally block access to sites and certain forms of content based on web filters (blacklists/whitelists) for their employees. Certain websites, on the other hand, only allow in visitors with a particular profile, for example from the same country.
Silo for Research enables analysts to do their job, while still ensuring organizational oversight and regulatory compliance. Its managed attribution capabilities also allow them to construct “personas” to access online resources that they would otherwise be unable to investigate; more here.

“Silo is a simple, easy, and effective tool for secure investigations.” – Financial Mid-market User
Background: Silo for Research enables investigators to keep financial fraud investigations anonymous, secure, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Five Stars for Web Isolation with Silo

Their reviews and 4- and 5-star votes show the high value that security professionals and analysts put on being able to safely access websites when conducting threat intelligence research, without worries about malware infiltrating their computers or about counterintelligence by threat actors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised the stakes for security researchers and analysts, many of whom are now working from home. Without adequate equipment, this increases the cybersecurity risks for themselves and their organizations.

With Silo for Research, which maximizes efficiency and operational security, such worries have become a non-issue, according to reviewers on G2 As one of the reviewers points out, “I work with highly sensitive files often and need to prevent any type of malware attack, and so far, Authentic8 Silo has been amazing.”
