CyberSoft Releases VSTK 171

VFind™ Security ToolKit (VSTK) 171, which is an upgrade from the current VSTK 170, is now available! VSTK 171 improves reliability, functionality, performance and integration. With all of these upgrades, VSTK 171 requires LESS memory as well as offers new features that meet Section 508 compliance criteria.

Customers with current Maintenance and Support contracts are eligible for a free VSTK 171 upgrade.
