Across many industries, there is a need for secure collaboration of data across networks, partners, suppliers, and customers. The eQube®-DaaS Platform supports multiple modes of secure collaboration: a) Secure collaboration between higher and lower security level networks - \'connected mode\' b) Secure collaboration - \'disconnected mode\' c) Secure collaboration \'disconnected, disrupted, intermittent and limited connected mode\' (D-DIL) Across all secure collaboration modes, eQube®-MI can compress message payload from the source systems and encrypt it with various encryption algorithms including FIPS compliant algorithms, ensuring secure transfer of the payload. This payload can be decrypted before updating the target system.
