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

Enterprise Information Protection (EIP) – The Next Generation in Information Security

Enterprise Information Protection (EIP) is an emerging market founded in the shift from infrastructure security to data-centric security. As new technologies emerge and businesses continue to expand globally through the use of partners and outsourcing, regulatory trends continue to gain momentum in an effort to protect sensitive data. The need for organizations to unify their information protection policies, business and security processes, and their many disparate security technologies is clear. EIP looks holistically at defining and mitigating the risk to sensitive information being moved across complete business processes and multitudes of end users worldwide as part of a strategic and unified information governance program.

In this session, you will learn how global 2000 companies can:

  • Move their security program beyond the walls of a conventional enterprise to include knowledge sharing across joint ventures, supply chains, partnerships and outsourced environments enforcing the proper, secure and compliant use of information
  • Enable the business to increase the amount and flow of sensitive high value data securely.
  • Enable their organization to distribute and outsource knowledge-based business processes for better business agility, efficiency and market advantage.
  • Secure the adoption of new computing paradigms including virtualization and cloud computing.
  • Design an information security program that is not only positioned to secure your information protection needs today but is protected from the rising tide of ever shifting privacy and compliance legislation, as well as hackers who continue to become more organized and sophisticated
