Snorkel-BX is a managed secure file transfer application that facilitates trusted communication between business applications across enterprise boundaries
BtoB applications form the backbone of e-commerce and are often the target for hackers. Securing business applications from hackers is often complicated due to requiring painful integration and constant maintenance, not to mention a dedicated team with esoteric PKI knowledge.
The complexity of securing BtoB applications stems from the fact that the transacting entities are often built on diverse platforms, have differing feature sets, and possess varying levels of security. To keep up with changes in business needs, technology, and threat environment, the applications also need constant changes and upgrades which can further complicate the task of securing business applications.
