  • The Microsoft Isolated Storage securely stores sensitive data, following the standards of Microsoft.
  • Data transferred between the senhasegura platform and GO Endpoint Manager for Windows occurs through HTTP connection and API REST. This communication occurs within the GO Endpoint Manager services to prevent capture by logged-in users.  
  • Exchanged messages have additional asynchronous encryption with a random key.

go Service

It's responsible for any interaction that occurs in the system, as:
