CHARLOTTE, N.C.–Virtual StrongBox, Inc. has received a fourth patent for its state-of-the-art software, which safeguards clients’ data, including that of members.
“Whether consumers are dealing with their financial institution, healthcare provider or insurance agent, they demand convenience – but not at the expense of security,” Virtual Stronbox said. “For these and other high-risk enterprises, ensuring safety and positive customer experiences can be challenging. In response, Virtual StrongBox is transforming how businesses handle security, customer convenience and back-office operations.”
The company said its encryption-protected, end-to-end consumert engagement platform enables organizations managing sensitive data to provide secure file-exchange services to their customers, while ensuring safe online storage in its private cloud.
Now, Virtual StrongBox President/CEO Ron Daly said, the newest patent strengthens the company’s ability to help high-security-risk firms implement a “customer first” model.
“An open API strategy enables our platform to be integrated with legacy systems so clients can take advantage of cloud computing without placing sensitive information at risk,” Daly said. “In turn, enabling customers and employees to use their own digital devices advances the consumerization of IT in the cloud.”
Virtual StrongBox also said its platform can be securely integrated into various workflow processes, saving costs and the time to process time-sensitive customer documents or internal files, while ensuring safe online storage and quick, digital access to files.
Earlier this year, the Company earned two other patents, one covering the use of mobile phones and other digital devices to access the system, and another for a security enhancement covering its process for capturing files from the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) stream. In 2015, Virtual StrongBox was granted a patent for its secure storage system and encryption-at-rest process.
“This fourth patent recognizes the unique way Virtual StrongBox connects legacy systems to consumers’ personal technology, serving as a bridge,” Daly said. “I like to think of our company as the ‘virtual’ middleware that gives existing technology a less-costly pathway to take advantage of the latest innovations.”
