(01) The job

Cloud Protect keeps files in cloud storage safe from cyberattacks, human error and technical failure. The product is organized around one loop, and the loop is the navigation.

Overview screen

01 · Navigation: Overview

Detect.

What happened in the last 48 hours: malicious files against everything scanned, hour by hour, and the latest events.

(02) Detect

The Overview, rebuilt and running live. Click any highlighted element to see why it’s there.

01 · Decision

The navigation is the workflow

Four items, in the order an admin works: Overview to detect, Events to investigate, Policies to prevent, Audit Logs to prove what was done. Nothing else competes for attention.

(03) Investigate

Cloud Protect · Events · Invoice_Q3_final.pdf

The event page answers the four first questions at a glance: is it contained, what is it, who saw it and where else it is. Each one gets a color-coded card, with details and evidence below.

Try it

Click through the file tree. Then press Release: a destructive action gets a confirmation that says exactly who will be affected.

(04) Prevent

Policies are created in an eight-step wizard. Every step asks one question, the stepper shows where you are, and the last step reviews everything before anything changes. Go ahead and create one.

Cloud Protect · Create a Policy
One question per step
What to protect, for whom, what to do, what to skip. Never all at once.
Review before commit
The summary repeats every choice, and saving never forces you to enable.
Drawers keep context
Exclusions and policy details open in a side drawer, so the page underneath stays in view.

(05) Prove

Security teams answer to auditors, so every change is logged with who and when. The actions you took above are already in this log.
