SMB shares are an example from the many protocols Bloombase StoreSafe supports for encryption. A share from a Windows Server 2025 system that is accessible by domain users is created to act as backend storage. Bloombase
StoreSafe creates a virtual encrypted share on its own hostname path that is accessed from a client software system.
Microsoft Windows 11 clients can use the included network share on file manager to access the SMB share presented by Bloombase StoreSafe Intelligent Storage Firewall. Data owners can alternatively use the Net Use command to specify additional mounting options.
On the demo virtual encrypted SMB share, a sample plaintext file is created by the client and saved. The file is transparently encrypted by the Bloombase StoreSafe encryption engine and stored on the Windows Server 2025 backend share.
If the application data is attempted to be accessed directly on the backend without going through the Bloombase StoreSafe encryption engine, only ciphertext can be read as expected.
