Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices

As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.

In this presentation, you will:

• Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
• Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
• Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
• Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders

Developing, Implementing and Enforcing an Internet Acceptable Use Policy (IAUP)

The Internet can be a wonderful source of information that can enhance employee productivity and increase the bottom line of your organization.

It can also provide access to a vast amount of purely entertainment-related materials that can threaten your organization.

Find out how you can easily develop an Internet Acceptable Use Policy, communicate that policy to your employees and monitor their use of the internet.

A baseline Network Quality Assurance Assessment is the first step to providing clear, empirical metrics that will allow you to develop a policy for your organization.

Productivity will increase with an IAUP in place, coupled with enforcement using PC and Internet activity Employee Monitoring Software.

With an IAUP backed by effective PC and Internet activity monitoring software, employees will be more focused and on task, arrive to work earlier and stay later, take fewer breaks during the day, and rarely - if ever - use PCs for frivolous or inappropriate nonwork-related activity.

How to Stop Serious Threats from Evading Detection

Three issues underscore the need to secure digital identities and information: risk mitigation, business enablement and compliance pressures.

• When data is lost or stolen, organizations incur both financial and brand damages.
• Organizations require greater information flow to customers, partners and employees faster and in real time to stay competitively viable.
• Regulatory agencies recognize the need to protect identities and information and have mandated certain requirements dictating the handling of sensitive information.

Moreover, because of hackers, keystroke logging, phishing and other attacks which grant access to applications, perimeter security (anti-virus, firewall, etc.) is no longer enough to protect identities and information. Rather, organizations should have trusted security - often SSL, strong authentication, fraud detection, digital certificates and PKI - which strikes the right balance between affordability, expertise and service.
