TORONTO, ON and NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 23, 2022 / Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX:SWISF)(CSE:SKUR)(FRA:GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company" , the leader in Swiss hosted secure communications and secure data management, is pleased announce that it has just completed an important milestone in upgrading its infrastructure for its Sekur solutions suite. The upgrade is connected to servers it has purchased and installed in Switzerland, in order to increase capacity and processing power for all its Sekur solutions: SekurSuite, SekurMail and SekurMessenger. With this infrastructure upgrade, the Company can now process billions of private and secure messages from up to 2 million users of SekurMessengers. In addition, the SekurMessenger application is now processing all messages and chat-by-invites by a factor of up to 50X faster. As the userbase increases, the Company will purchase more servers to process the demand. The new servers are state of the art and can handle the upcoming SekurVoice encrypted calls and SekurPro encrypted video conferencing solutions coming by year end 2022.
Sekur is now ready to expand its services globally. In particular, SekurMessenger is now being launched in Latin and Central America, Europe and South Asia, in addition to its existing launch in the USA.
In May 2022, the Company launched its "Chat-by-Invites" feature, allowing a SekurMessenger user ("SM user" to invite a non-SM user, or a group of non-SM users, to chat in a fully private and secure way, without the recipient ever having to register to SekurMessenger or download the app. At the end of the chat, the initiator of the conversation can remotely terminate the conversation and all traces of the conversation are deleted from all users, including the recipient. This unique feature is now fully deployed and functional on all iOS and Android devices and web platforms. The target sectors are numerous, including but not limited to real estate, legal, finance, insurance, medical, government, energy, manufacturing, trade and pharmaceutical sectors.
SekurMessenger also eliminates many of the privacy and security risks by not only not requiring a phone number, which would divulge a user's phone device ID, but also by not social engineering a user's phone or computer contact list and infecting the contacts by default as well, eliminating a huge loophole in security and privacy. SekurMessenger issues each user a username and a Sekur number. The Sekur number is the contact ID a user would disclose in order for other Sekur users to be added. The service comes with a self-destruct timer and other features as well, including Sekur's proprietary VirtualVaults and HeliX technologies with all data stored in Swiss hosted encrypted servers.
Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are excited to have completed our latest infrastructure upgrade in Switzerland. We use state of the art technology and hardware in order to protect our users' data and process all queries from emails, messaging and file sharing, with the fastest speed available today, and without any latency, thanks to our multiple backbone connectivity covering the globe out of Switzerland. This is a big milestone, as it puts us closer to offer our SekurVoice and SekurPro offerings this year. With the new upgraded infrastructure, we have increased our processing capacity by a factor of 50. As far as SekurMessenger is concerned, we can now host 2 million users easily and we can always add more servers as we increase our userbase. The new servers will also increase the speed of delivery of our unique "Chat-by-Invites" feature which is gaining in popularity rapidly. Our new SekurMail application will also launch this summer on the new infrastructure. As we are not connected to any Big Tech platform, we can offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, location mining of phone number mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continue to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers."
Sekur, which includes SekurMessenger and SekurMail, is part of a bundle of email, messaging and file transfer into one application, includes the Company's latest SekurMail technology, which includes proprietary anti-phishing and privacy feature called SekurSend®. SekurSend® lets a user send an email to any other recipient, whether they have Sekur or not, in full privacy and security as the email never leaves Sekur's encrypted email servers based in Switzerland. The recipient can then click on the notification and reply in the same manner using SekurReply®, without the recipient having to register for a Sekur account. The sender can also decide to protect any email sent by adding a password to open it, a read-limit and a self-destruct timer as well. Sending an email with the SekurSend® feature allows the senders and recipients to add limitless size attachments to the emails without crowding the recipients' email box. This also eliminates BEC attacks for businesses and email phishing attacks. Additionally, SekurMail includes full control of email delivery, automatic data export for large Enterprises and an automatic Data Loss Prevention technology ("DLP" with real time continuous archiving.
Recent data breaches in messaging applications have created a certain urgency for businesses and data privacy advocates to protect their communications form cyber-attacks and identity theft via mobile and desktop devices.
Sekur's Data privacy solutions are all hosted in Switzerland, protecting users' data from any outside data intrusion requests. In Switzerland, the right to privacy is guaranteed in article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution. The Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP" of 19 June 1992 (in force since 1993) has set up a strict protection of privacy by prohibiting virtually any processing of personal data which is not expressly authorized by the data subjects. The protection is subject to the authority of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Under Swiss federal law, it is a crime to publish information based on leaked "secret official discussions." In 2010 the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland found that IP addresses are personal information and that under Swiss privacy laws they may not be used to track Internet usage without the knowledge of the individuals involved.
