Shomera Insurance Meets New Industry Security Standards with eTouchware's Safe-T Secure Managed File Transfer Solution
More than 1000 Field Agents Use Outlook Plug-In to Securely Send Personal Data and Policies
NEW YORK, NY (October 15, 2009) -- eTouchware has announced that more than 1000 field agents at the Shomera Insurance Company are using eTouchware's Safe-T Managed File Transfer Solution to fully comply with the stringent regulations that govern the transfer of sensitive personal data.
When establishing new policies or amending existing accounts, the field agents must often exchange electronic files containing highly sensitive and confidential personal information with the company headquarters. Using Safe-T's Outlook plug-in or its user-friendly web interface, the agents can now send even the most sensitive personal data with full confidence that it will be accessed by only authorized recipients.
The Safe-T Solution offers secured download links, one-time passwords, advanced encryption capabilities, and comprehensive audit-trail documentation to significantly increase the integrity and confidentiality of Shomera's file transfers both inside and outside the enterprise.
"For users and non-technical staff across a financial enterprise, the Safe-T Solution offers a user-friendly and extremely secure solution for securely transferring personal and financial data," says Amir Mizhar, eTouchware's CEO. "In addition, the very rapid deployment of the Safe-T Solution ensures that there is no discernible negative impact on the company's workflows or inter-office communication."
