The New Universe of Managed File Transfer
Why your existing solution may not be enough
As the sheer volumes of corporate information increase exponentially, companies have struggled to secure, control, and manage enterprise data. With the backing of major analyst groups, managed file transfer (MFT) is seen as a re-emerging technology and a must-have for most businesses. But what exactly should you look for in an MFT solution? And what are the major driving forces? This white paper provides a focused articulation of the MFT space and explains some key benefits companies can expect from implementing an advanced MFT solution.

Managed File Transfer
Control & Security for the Enterprise
Confidential data is intercepted, lost or stolen every day - often without anyone's knowledge (until it's too late). While most companies build brick walls and firewalls around their internal networks, they too often entrust the ongoing transmission of mission-critical data to insecure Internet technologies like FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

This cannot be. With the inherent limitations of FTP both severe and well documented, pressing regulatory mandates (Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA) are driving home the case for corporate control and accountability. Managed file transfer solves this problem effectively for businesses.

This paper looks at today's landscape of managed file transfer and discusses what organizations should look for when choosing an enterprise solution.
