The problem with traditional encryption methodologies is the complexity of the applications, implementation, and decoding processes. With Bracket, users simply wrap the subject line in brackets and hit send. The process for opening and decoding messages is equally effortless.

Bracket features include:

• Messages encrypted using AES-256 standards and geographically distributed key.

• Fool-proof sign-in mails with a secure, expiring link. No more lost passwords.

• Encrypted email can be sent from any email app on any device.

• MX-free for Office 365. No need to change records so they route through filtering services.

Bracket also includes an encrypted file transfer service, Bracket Share, which gives users a personalized file transfer page with an URL (share link) that they can provide to anyone. Shared files and messages show up in the Bracket inbox like a regular message. Other features include customizable links, personalized invitations, and sender validation.

“We are elated at the patent office’s acknowledgment of Bracket as a revolutionary encryption technology.” Says David Setzer, CEO. “One of our core goals is to empower managed services providers with unique and highly valued services they can take to market. While our partners usually provide all the external validation we need, this patent confirms our commitment to technical innovation. Bracket gives MSPs a true advantage and differentiator in the security and encryption space, solves real end-user needs, and delivers highly profitable recurring revenue streams.“

Will Nobles, founder and CEO, Vector Choice Technology Solutions (IT services firm), is leveraging Mailprotector’s encryption technology with a 1,000 user healthcare provider, various Attorneys, and other clients.

“Innovations from our vendors, bringing new ideas like Bracket and Bracket Share, are invaluable to our business,” emphasizes Nobles. “With other systems, you have to install extensions in Outlook, and users have to follow multiple steps. Bracket is a lot easier to use, which means our clients are more apt to add the protection instead of sending unencrypted emails.“

“Our design goal was to make security more accessible to users and our partners, not to create technology for technology’s sake,” adds Ben Hathaway, CTO, Mailprotector. “That’s what makes Bracket special. The combination of ease of use with innovative and highly effective encryption. Our unique approach, detailed in the patent, allows us to offer users complete data privacy and security in a simple to use solution.“
