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

10 Simple Rules for Implementing an Encryption Strategy
Organizations are becoming more and more proactive about data security, with data encryption viewed as a core element to their defensive measures.
Encryption of data is being adopted at a rapid rate to comply with industry regulations, protect intellectual property, obtain safe harbor from data breachdisclosure laws, and effectively manage risk. As encryption proliferates, IT professionals are making critical decisions that directly contribute to, or detract from, an organization's ability to effectively manage encryption keys and data security.
Data is an organization's most valuable asset and it must be protected.
Designing and implementing an encryption strategy is not complicated if you understand the needs of your organization and establish the right decision-making criteria for encryption solutions. Simplicity, breadth, manageability and efficiency are the primary requirements security-minded organizations must build into their encryption strategy. A solution that has the least complexity will make the jobs of IT professionals easier, be more cost-effective and time-efficient, while at the same time protecting data and meeting compliance standards.
