Internet File Transfer

home > solutions > managed file transfer > internet file transfer

The World Wide Web has given businesses of all sizes a powerful, inexpensive network on which to connect and do business. But as a completely public and open forum, the Internet is inherently non-secure. Data breaches and compromises at leading institutions worldwide clearly underscore this point.

The fact is, the Internet is a powerful medium for data movement, and our reliance on it for this purpose will continue to expand. We must, however, place greater focus on the security and integrity of the information we send. This will become increasingly imperative as customers, business partners, and regulators demand it.

Focus on Data Security, Control, Integration

Companies looking to implement Internet-based file transfer initiatives will typically have the following requirements:

Security:

protection from common and increasingly dangerous Internet threats

Control:

total control of all file transfers – who, what, when, where – and the ability to audit all activity at any time

Partner Integration:

data transfer frequently underpins important business relationships; business partners must be able to connect securely and efficiently

Secure Internet File Transfer; Web Service Enabled

CyberFusion Integration Suite (CFI), from Proginet, enables organizations to exchange information with complete control over the Internet – securely, efficiently, and economically. Available as a Web service or standalone application, the solution allows companies to easily integrate with business partners, automating and simplifying the most critical data-transfer activities. Equally important, CFI's advanced security mechanism eliminates common authentication, security, and control risks associated with Internet file delivery.

CFI delivers the following key functionality:

Multi-protocol Support:

CFI supports a variety of popular protocols including HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, FTPS (SSL), and SFTP (SSH), as well as open standards such as WSDL, XML, SOAP, and UDDI

Guaranteed Delivery:

CFI's Checkpoint Restart feature guarantees delivery – hugely important in any partnered relationship built around service-level agreements (SLA)

Large-file Support:

CFI has no file-size limitations (existing customers transfer files of 5, 10, even 25GB in size on a regular basis)

Straight-through Processing:

CFI does not use a traditional but risky store-and-forward approach – its strong proxying capabilities ensure that incoming data is delivered directly to the backend system and never stored in the DMZ

Bi-directional Transfers:

CFI has the capability to push and pull files in either direction

Security & Encryption:

CFI provides industry-standard encryption for all file transfers as well as strong authentication and authorization

Partner Network Integration:

external business partners can use a standard Web browser to connect securely to your system – there is no client software to install

Control & Management:

a remotely-accessible Command Center (browser-based) provides a complete view of all enterprise file transfer activity at all times – all audits and reports can be compiled on-the-fly

Leading institutions worldwide use CFI to secure all Internet-based file-transfer activity and to tightly integrate their global partner community.
