Deutsche Version unten<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The 19th release of Nextcloud Hub provides remote workers full access to all team resources and direct communication, enabling enterprises to gain productivity while protecting security and confidentiality.<\/em><\/p>\n

June 2, 2020 – Nextcloud, the market leader in on-premises collaboration solutions, sets a new industry standard, introducing a major new release of Nextcloud Hub tuned for remote collaboration of teams already employed in thousands of large and small enterprises across the globe. This release, dubbed \u201chome office\u201d, brings document collaboration to video chats, massively simplifies authentication and improves performance.<\/p>\n

COVID has accelerated a trend already visible in many businesses, forcing them to provide a secure remote collaboration solution to their employees. We named our release \u201chome office\u201d as it provides a large productivity boost for organizations employing many home office workers, like we do ourselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Making security easy<\/h2>\n

When logging in from home to access office documents and having video calls, the many different platforms and complicated passwords make life harder than needed for employees. Nextcloud introduces password-less, secure login, where users can simply plug in a hardware key and get to work. Together with many other new security measures, being productive at home becomes a standard solution in organizations that have deployed Nextcloud Hub.<\/p>\n

Easy logging in with biometrics or a hardware key<\/h3>\n

Password-less authentication relies on WebAuthn, a new W3C global standard for secure authentication on the Web supported by all leading browsers and platforms including Windows Hello and many hardware keys. It offers a choice of authentication options and stronger account security than the usual username\/password combination. Developed in collaboration with open source hardware security key manufacturer Nitrokey, the implementation in Nextcloud makes it the first on-premises collaboration platform to provide support for this new standard.<\/p>\n

Having employees in home office means a strong security standard is required to protect data. As most attacks target users as weakest link, the combination of easy to use hardware keys with WebAuthn provides employers with a huge security advantage for remote workers. Nextcloud\u2019s impressive latest release works perfect with Nitrokey hardware, giving administrators a fully open, verifiable security stack they can trust.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

— Jan Suhr, Nitrokey<\/p>\n

Users can configure WebAuthn options including hardware security keys in their user settings.<\/p>\n

Protecting accounts anywhere<\/h3>\n

In addition to simplifying authentication, a series of new security measures makes it easier for administrators to secure the accounts of remote workers. This release of Nextcloud Hub introduces:<\/p>\n
