GlobeX Data
Update on Launch of SekurMessenger with America Movil's Telcel –
Aims to Replace WhatsApp for Business
Toronto, Ontario and New York, NY
-- February 1, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- GlobeX Data Ltd. (OTCQB:SWISF) (CSE:SWIS) (FRA:GDT) ("GlobeX" or the "Company"), the
leader in Swiss hosted secure communications and secure data
management, is pleased to update its shareholders on its
SekurMessenger
Swiss hosted email and messaging
security and privacy solution launch with América Móvil's Telcel
unit in Mexico.
As previously announced in 2021,
GlobeX is launching SekurMessenger,
its Swiss hosted encrypted instant messaging, secure voice
recording transfer and secure file transfer application, with
América Móvi's Telcel mobile operator in Mexico. The secure
messaging service has been fully integrated with Telcel's billing
and provisioning platform and the commercial launch has started in
the CDMX region, representing Mexico City and the greater Mexico
City, a region covering 21.9 million people.
América Móvi's Telcel has now
approved the launch to go nationally to the rest of Mexico and it
will include the mass markets as well as businesses. Previously the
launch of SekurMessenger
was limited only to corporate
entities and large enterprises. The mass markets classification is
composed of small businesses (SMB) and consumers. Once sales gain
momentum in Mexico, the launch is planned to expand to other
countries where America Movil operates through its Claro brand,
such as Colombia, Peru and other Latin American countries, as the
business grows over the coming years.
GlobeX Data and América Móvil are
looking at offering a secure and private alternative to other
non-secure and non-private messaging applications. The market is
geared primarily for business and government users, and privacy
conscious consumers. According information published on América
Móvi's website,
Telcel is the largest mobile operator in Mexico, with over 75
million mobile subscribers. América Móvil is the
7th
largest telecom operator in the
world with over 277 million mobile subscribers in over 20 countries
throughout Latin America and Europe. Its shares trade in the New
York Stock Exchange under ticker AMX.
Recent data breaches in messaging
applications and in particular in the WhatsApp application 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.
SekurMessenger
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
issue each user a username and a SM
number. The SM number is the contact ID a user would disclose in
order for other SM users to be added. As the Introduction
Video demonstrates, the
service comes with a self-destruct timer and other features as
well, including GlobeX's proprietary VirtualVaults and HeliX
technologies with all data stored in Swiss hosted encrypted
servers.
Additionally, SekurMessenger
now comes with a proprietary
feature and technology called Chat by Invites. This feature allows
a SekurMessenger
user ("SM user") invite a non-SM
user, or a group of non-SM users, by sending an SMS or email to the
recipient, 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 legal, financial, government, real estate, energy,
mining, manufacturing, trade and medical sectors.
Alain Ghiai, CEO of GlobeX Data
said: "We are very happy to have been approved for the national
launch of SekurMessenger
with Telcel, and to have been
approved for the mass market segment as well. We are now looking
forward to start generating revenues from all of Mexico from
government organizations, businesses, and consumers. We know that
in certain sectors, there is a growing demand to replace WhatsApp
as a business messaging solution. SekurMessenger
is here to satisfy that demand, and
as we are not connected, and never have been connected, to AWS,
Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud platforms, commonly referred to as
"Big Tech", we can offer a truly independent, private and secure
means of communications through secure messaging, secure voice
record transfer and secure email through our proprietary technology
and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We are looking forward
to expand in Central and Latin America in the coming years, as we
plan to launch with other partners in the region as well. According
to statista.com and other information sites, there are over 580
million people speaking Spanish in Latin America alone, and with
security and privacy becoming a global concern, we have seen a
surge in demand and inquiries for our secure and private
communications solutions."
GlobeX'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.
