•   Improved Productivity: Support for single sign-on with Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Users who have entered their authentication credentials with a trusted identity provider will not have to re-enter those credentials to access Biscom SFT, saving valuable keystrokes and improving user productivity.
•   Enhanced Collaboration: Biscom SFT Secure Workspace offers a secure, intuitive way to exchange project-related files and comments with internal and external participants. Secure Workspace Folders improve collaboration and productivity by allowing participants to better organize Secure Workspaces containing a large number of files.
•   Advanced Mobility: The Biscom SFT mobile app now supports all IOS and Android mobile devices. The Biscom SFT mobile app facilitates on-demand secure transfer of files stored on the mobile device with the same ease as composing and sending an email. Biscom is pleased to announce that the SFT mobile app is available for download from the Apple App Store, Google Play and Amazon Marketplace.

“Without full user acceptance and adoption, security technology cannot fulfill its mission to protect confidential data from the increasing threat of cybercrime,” says Bill Ho, Biscom’s President. “The new Biscom SFT release 4.3 reinforces Biscom’s commitment to continuously improve Biscom Secure File Transfer where it matters most – ease of use.”

Biscom will demonstrate Biscom SFT 4.3 during the ILTA Conference in Las Vegas, Aug. 18-22. Visit booth number 133 to take the Biscom Security Challenge and enter for a chance to win an iPad Mini.

Biscom Announces Integration with MobileIron AppConnect

Biscom, a leader in secure document delivery to the legal market, today announced that it is now an integral part of the MobileIron AppConnect ecosystem. The Biscom integration with MobileIron AppConnect ensures employees can securely exchange files from their mobile devices while IT has the policy controls it needs to secure and manage corporate data.

MobileIron, the leader in security and management for mobile apps, documents and devices, provides its AppConnect technology to third-party mobile app developers. With MobileIron AppConnect apps, companies can give their employees the best third-party application experiences with apps that have been enabled with auto-configuration, data containerization and secure tunneling to protect corporate data.  

Biscom Secure File Transfer (SFT) provides an intuitive, self-service environment to create and securely deliver confidential files and messages. Unlike the mobile apps of collaborative file sharing services that do not easily support transfer to non-participants, the Biscom mobile app facilitates on-demand transfer to any external party with same ease as composing and sending an e-mail. With a single click, an attorney can initiate a Biscom secure transfer from the mobile device’s email, PDF annotation app or other iPad app.  Authorized recipient access is tracked and the sending attorney receives verification of receipt.  Attorneys can also access received Biscom deliveries from their mobile app. Biscom’s mobile app supports IOS and Android mobile devices.

Biscom’s integration with MobileIron’s AppConnect mobile device management environment further enhances Biscom’s strong security by locking down access to files stored in the Biscom app.  MobileIron allows administrators to control the Biscom app’s file access policy including app login, file movement to other apps, copy/paste permissions and file printing.

“The combination of Biscom and MobileIron offers a new level of security and control to the process of mobile device file exchange,” says Charles Magliato, Biscom’s Legal Program Director. “Attorneys trust Biscom’s iPad and Android apps for its on-demand transfer of sensitive files that encrypts delivery and ensures only the intended recipients receive the files.  The integration with MobileIron will enhance the control and protection of files stored in the Biscom app.”

“Data security is paramount in the legal industry. Client files must be protected from data breach and cyber-attack without compromising the mobile experience of attorneys and legal staff,” says Ojas Rege, VP Strategy, MobileIron. “Biscom’s integration with MobileIron AppConnect gives law firms around the world new tools to secure the exchange and storage of sensitive files on mobile devices.”
