Okay, here's a story that'll warm your heart. A pharmaceutical company was having a really hard time making sensitive data available to downstream systems. Due to their security requirements, they were forced to transfer the data manually, which delayed the data's availability by an entire month. Guess what they did? They turned to our sponsor – Sotero – to keep the data encrypted as the data is sent to downstream systems. And here's the best part . . . With the data secure while in motion, they shortened the data transfer time from a month to a few hours. Amazing! I encourage you to check out Sotero at them Soterosoft.com.
