Atsign Supercharges File Sharing with Invisible SMB/CIFS Connections
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atsign, the leader in invisible zero trust connectivity solutions, today announced that its NoPorts technology now supports invisible SMB/CIFS connections. This breakthrough enables users to access file servers remotely with unparalleled security and ease, regardless of network configurations, including those with Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT). By eliminating open ports, NoPorts makes SMB/CIFS endpoints completely invisible to attackers scanning the internet for vulnerabilities, completely eliminating the attack surface. SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) is a widely used protocol for sharing files across networks. However, traditional SMB/CIFS implementations require open ports, making them vulnerable to attack. NoPorts eliminates this vulnerability by creating secure, encrypted tunnels that do not require any open ports. This innovative approach ensures that SMB/CIFS communication is not exposed to the internet, enhancing security. Overcoming CGNAT Challenges NoPorts, built on Atsign's atPlatform , uses an unique addressing system—one that works independently of IP addresses— which is particularly beneficial in environments where CGNAT is present, such as those using Starlink, cellular networks, and other services that rely on shared IP addresses. While CGNAT places multiple users behind a single public IP address, making direct inbound connections impossible, NoPorts address system enables zero trust connections as illustrated in a recent case study involving a rural estate management company in Scotland: Challenge - The company's transition to Starlink introduced CGNAT, breaking their existing DDNS-based remote access to a Windows 11 file server and Synology NAS devices. Solution - By implementing NoPorts, the company established secure, encrypted connections for SMB/CIFS access, Synology Drive Client synchronization, and RDP access – all without requiring open ports. Benefits Restored reliable remote access to essential file server resources. Enhanced security through NoPorts' encrypted connections. Improved connection resiliency, even during Starlink handoffs. Key Features and Benefits of NoPorts for SMB/CIFS: Invisible Connections - No open ports are required, making SMB/CIFS connections invisible to potential attackers. End-to-End Encryption - All data transmitted through NoPorts is securely encrypted. CGNAT Compatibility - NoPorts bypasses the limitations of CGNAT, enabling remote access in challenging network environments. IP Address Agnostic - NoPorts works independently of IP addresses, ensuring connectivity even with dynamic IPs. Simplified Network Management - Eliminates the complexity and security risks associated with firewalls, NAT, and port forwarding. Cryptographic Authentication - Ensures that only authorized devices can connect, adding an additional layer of security before any data is transmitted. Atsign's Commitment to Invisible Connectivity This latest innovation builds upon Atsign's ongoing commitment to providing zero trust connections across the Internet. Atsign's NoPorts technology already supports invisible connections for a wide range of protocols and applications, including: SSH RDP IoT Websites APIs Local AI Models Cloud Infrastructure 'We are excited to extend the benefits of NoPorts to SMB/CIFS users,' said Barbara Tallent, CEO at Atsign.

Atsign Revolutionizes Remote Access with "Invisible RDP" Powered by NoPorts Technology
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atsign, a leader in pre-emptive security solutions and infrastructure, announced its groundbreaking approach to remote access with 'Invisible RDP,' powered by its innovative NoPorts technology. With cyber threats targeting vulnerable Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) services escalating, Atsign offers a paradigm shift in security by rendering RDP servers and other critical infrastructure completely undetectable to external threats. Traditional remote access methods rely on open inbound ports, creating a visible pathway for malicious actors to discover and target systems. This fundamental design flaw has been the root cause of countless ransomware attacks and data breaches exploiting RDP vulnerabilities. Atsign's NoPorts technology eliminates this inherent risk by closing all inbound ports. Instead of waiting for a connection attempt to initiate security protocols, NoPorts establishes secure, peer-to-peer connections only after successful, out-of-band authentication. This means that RDP servers protected by NoPorts are simply invisible to unauthorized scans and probes – 'they can't attack what they can't find.' Key Benefits of Atsign's Invisible RDP 'The persistent threat landscape demands a fundamental change in how we approach remote access security,' said Barbara Tallent, CEO of Atsign. 'NoPorts represents that change. By making critical infrastructure components like RDP servers invisible, we are effectively taking them off the map for cybercriminals. This isn't just about better security; it's about fundamentally eliminating entire classes of attacks.' Atsign's NoPorts technology is not limited to RDP. It provides a secure and invisible connectivity layer for a wide range of applications and services, offering an enhanced approach to data privacy and security in an increasingly interconnected world.

Atsign Advances Private Website Security with the Power of Invisibility
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atsign today announced that NoPorts™ fundamentally changes how private websites are secured. Unlike current systems where the web entry point is visible to anyone on the internet, NoPorts makes the entire website invisible until a person is cryptographically authenticated. This eliminates a significant attack vector, ensuring only authorized individuals can access the site. Private websites, containing sensitive data for organizations like legal offices, healthcare providers, and financial institutions, typically have open ports and allow connections prior to authentication. This makes it possible for bad actors to find them by scanning for open ports and then attempt to break into them through a variety of means including credential stuffing, brute-force attacks, and social engineering methods used to bypass multi-factor authentication. 'Current 'private' websites are fundamentally flawed. They are easily discovered by bad actors thanks to open ports and allow connections prior to authentication, enabling a variety of attacks. NoPorts flips that model, by closing all inbound network ports and demanding cryptographic proof of identity before any connection, ensuring true invisibility and security,' said Barbara Tallent, CEO of Atsign. NoPorts enhances security through: Invisibility - By closing open ports, NoPorts prevents unauthorized discovery and access. Cryptographic Identity Verification - NoPorts replaces traditional authentication methods by requiring cryptographic authentication prior to connection, eliminating a variety of cyber attacks including the risks associated with passwords and MFA. End-to-End Encryption - All traffic is encrypted, ensuring data remains protected even if a network is compromised. This approach strengthens security without adding complexity for authorized individuals. NoPorts simplifies security management and reduces IT overhead while providing robust protection against cyber threats. This announcement builds upon Atsign's ongoing development of NoPorts technology, which has already been applied to OpenWrt devices, APIs, AI models, and cloud infrastructure, demonstrating the technology's broad applicability. About NoPorts NoPorts eliminates network & security vulnerabilities by securing connections between people, entities, and things making them invisible to would-be attackers by eliminating attack network surfaces. Built on Atsign's atPlatform, NoPorts provides a zero trust architecture, end-to-end encryption, and no reliance on cumbersome security layers, enabling seamless and secure communication across virtually any environment.
