Case Study: Ansari X Prize achieves 98% efficiency increase and cuts transfer time from 2 hours to 2 minutes with Biscom Secure File Transfer

Spaceflight Innovator Replaces FTP with Biscom Secure File Transfer and Improves Efficiency by 98%

A leading private spaceflight company developing advanced, reusable launch vehicles faced a growing problem: engineers, scientists and partners needed to exchange large volumes of confidential data, but email attachment limits, insecure transfers, cumbersome FTP/PGP workflows and costly courier services created security, compliance and efficiency bottlenecks across the organization.

The company deployed Biscom Secure File Transfer—an on‑premises, SSL‑protected solution with AES‑256 FIPS 140‑2 encryption, detailed audit/tracking and an Outlook add‑in—providing an easy, IT‑friendly way to send protected files. The result: a 98% boost in file‑transfer efficiency, transfer times cut from about two hours to under two minutes, elimination of courier costs and improved visibility and compliance.
