Business Context
Your weak link in enterprise security and compliance
Every day, your organization transfers thousands of files across your workforce, systems, customers, suppliers and partners both inside and outside the firewall.
Inherent weaknesses in traditional file transfer protocol (FTP) and -based file exchange of are growing concern to IT risk and compliance professionals
As data volumes and business complexity grow, so does the risk that unsecure FTP or will expose sensitive customer or financial data, undermine compliance or impact operational performance and profitability.
When you align internal processes like file transfer to create seamless customer experiences across your value chain, you can synchronize your business to be more secure, compliant, productive and profitable.

Business Context
Growth in people-centric and extreme file transfers
Traditionally, the bulk of file transfer has been among systems and/or applications – EDI, work flow applications, etc.
People-centric, or ad hoc, file transfer is on the rise in entertainment, marketing, advertising, retail and manufacturing as teams collaborate in creative processes across multiple geographic locations.
More organizations are looking to the cloud to take advantage of economies of scale, reduce start-up costs and free up IT resources.

Business Context
The FTP risk to security, reliability and compliance
Limited reliability - Lacking checkpoint recovery capabilities, FTP can be prone to failure in the event of a network interruption, resulting in partial or corrupt files at the destination.
Limited security - FTP transmits client IDs and passwords as plain text, while standard FTP commands can be used to create denial of service attacks or exploit other network vulnerabilities. Many FTP implementations also lack multi-function authentication, encryption and privacy.
Limited auditability and visibility - With no centralized monitoring or management, FTP transfers can be nearly impossible to track from start to finish. Limited logging capabilities require users to check logs and at source and destination servers for every transfer.
Limited flexibility and scalability – Single-threaded FTP works only in a one-to-one model, requiring tedious scripting if an organization wants to send the same file to multiple recipients in a single transfer, a common requirement in B2B trading networks.
“In most situations, the traditional FTP approach to supporting external file transfers will no longer be adequate for meeting enterprise file transfer needs, as FTP offerings lack the enhanced security, governance and administrative features that corporate auditors are demanding.”
