A computing platform may detect, via a communication network, transmission of data from a first computing device to a second computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may intercept, prior to receipt of the transmission by the second computing device, the data. Then, the computing platform may shard the data into a first shard and a second shard. Then, the computing platform may identify, within the communication network, a first communication channel and a second communication channel. Then, the computing platform may send, to the second computing device, the first shard via the first communication channel, and the second shard via the second communication channel. Subsequently, the computing platform may merge, the first shard and the second shard, to reconfigure the data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computing platform, comprising: at least one processor; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to: detect, via a communication network, transmission of data from a first computing device to a second computing device;
