Easy data exchange with partners is often complicated by differing security formats and computing platforms. To further complicate the issue, partners are often unwilling to invest in additional security solutions to protect data during the exchange process.
The SecureZIP Solution supports the ZIP and OpenPGP security formats and works across all major computing platforms. Data is securely exchanged with partners regardless of the transfer process or system the partner uses. The SecureZIP PartnerLink Solution enables you to securely exchange data with partners at no cost to them.
Data-centric encryptionData is never transferred or received "in the clear". |
Trusted dataDigital signing, time stamping, and authentication ensure that the data has not been compromised. |
| Supports multiple industry-standard security formats, including OpenPGP and .ZIP, as well as most operating system platforms. |
Never lose control of your dataContingency key allows enterprises to have a "master key" to all data. |
Meet compliance mandates with strong encryption includingFIPS 140-2, HIPAA, SOX, PCI, etc. |
Easy installationIntegrates quickly for both you and your partners. |
File compression is an added bonusFile size can be reduced by up to 95% to maximize bandwidth. Data can be encrypted and zipped at any convenient time ahead of the transfer batch jobs running to spread processing workload. |
