Beyond FTP: A Next Gen Strategy for Secure File Transfer

A CIO Custom Solutions White Paper, Sponsored by SEEBURGER

In spite of the spread of data breaches and escalating compliance requirements, risky file-sharing practices persist in many businesses. They still rely on “free”FTPsoftware and unsecured email attachments for sharing files inside the business and with business partners. Unfortunately, these approaches lack the mechanisms to prevent employees or systems from sending the wrong kind of data, and to track, audit, and recover quickly from file transmission problems. With the organizational cost of a data breach reaching $7.2 million – or $214 per compromised record – in 2010,* “free” can end up being pretty expensive if a file-sharing problem results in a data breach or compliance problem.

This whitepaper describes a new approach, Secure Managed File Transfer, that overcomes the limitations of FTP servers and email.
