CHARLOTTE, N.C.– Virtual StrongBox has received a second patent on its newest security enhancement, which expands on the company’s process for capturing files from the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) stream. The company offers a safety net to cover the entire process of loading documents from high-risk enterprises to their consumers to its file-exchange and storage system.
Ron Daly, Virtual StrongBox’s President/CEO, said the new technology offers industries that handle sensitive consumer information unprecedented defense against cybercriminals while loading files containing customer data.
“Every day you read about hackers breaking into another site – retailers, insurance companies, banks, medical groups, and the list goes on – resulting in financial losses and reputation damage for the company, as well as deep frustration for victims whose personal information is compromised,” Daly said. “Virtual StrongBox is changing that. Our new process for capturing files from the SSL stream builds on our previous patent, providing even stronger protection for personally identifiable information (PII).”
Last year, Virtual StrongBox was granted a patent for its encryption-at-rest technology.
Virtual StrongBox is an end-to-end, secure customer engagement platform that allows enterprises handling customer data to drive forward their “Consumerization of IT” strategy. The platform allows consumers to place their records in their personal online safe deposit boxes and allows the enterprise to use that secure cloud storage for file exchange, workflow enhancements and operational efficiencies.
According to the company, the secure file-exchange application means the enterprise and customer can share documents while also improving workflow, cutting the time to prepare and manage loan docs or other needed information. The process also is much safer than email, fax, courier or U.S. mail. In addition to their Virtual StrongBox provider, consumers can use the secure channel to exchange files with others they designate.
