CHARLOTTE, N.C.–Virtual StrongBox has been issued a third patent, this time for protecting the company’s state-of-the-art technology, which allows users to securely select, view and store private documents on mobile phones and other digital devices.
Ron Daly, Virtual StrongBox’s president/CEO, said the newest patent reinforces the company’s technology defenses so enterprises, their employees and members/customers are assured end-to-end security on their smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices.
“These protections are especially important to high-risk industries that deal with sensitive consumer data, like banks, credit unions, insurance, healthcare and government,” said Daly. “Enterprises can now benefit from cloud convenience and the growing use of mobile devices with the peace of mind that they’re not sacrificing security.”
In February, Virtual StrongBox earned a patent for a security enhancement covering its process for capturing files from the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) stream. In 2015, the company was granted a patent for its secure storage system and file-encryption method for safeguarding data at rest. Together with the third patent, these capabilities have made Virtual StrongBox a leader in fintech enterprise and customer security, the company said.
Over the past year, Virtual StrongBox said it has expanded its services well beyond enabling financial organizations to offer consumers secure, online document storage. The company offers enterprises a comprehensive security platform and back-office strategy that includes using Virtual StrongBox’s secure cloud storage for file exchange with their members/customers, and automates many operational tasks and speeds up document delivery. Further, customers also can exchange specific documents with other providers, such as tax preparers, mortgage lenders and attorneys.
“Virtual StrongBox is also helping enterprises move forward with the ‘consumerization of IT,’” Daly said. “With devices and apps that are widely used by consumers finding a place in business and government, enterprises can use Virtual StrongBox to leverage their use of consumer technology to realize operational efficiencies, without sacrificing security.”
