Managed file transfer (MFT) is a technology platform that uses administrative controls, support for security protocols (like HTTPS, SFTP, FTPS), and automation capabilities to help companies securely share various types of data, including sensitive or compliance-protected data as well as high-volume data.
MFT offers better security, automation, and scalability than FTP or custom-built scripts. Organizations that switch to MFT are often pleased by the types of processes MFT can take over, as well as the time-savings in building transfers, tracking data movement, and troubleshooting. With an MFT solution, you can gain better visibility and control over your everyday file transfers.
Data security is both a mindset and a coordinated, concrete set of efforts and software solutions deployed throughout an organization designed to comprehensively protect data transmitted each day at all stages of its journey.
For comprehensive data security, organizations need to add a layer of protection so that each stage of data is protected throughout its journey for end-to-end security.
Ideally, your data security position should include solutions that can understand and classify your data, detect and prevent leaks, and secure and protect data both at rest and in motion via system-to-system transfers and web transfers.
HTTPS helps preserve data integrity, which means that data can’t be altered and will be the same during any operation. Additionally, HTTPS provides encryption, which in turn would make the data is difficult to access or use you would need the decryption key in order to access it.
Another critical feature of HTTPS is authentication. With an SSL certificate in HTTPS, users can’t be fooled into sharing data with someone not authorized to access the data, such as with a hacker performing “man in the middle” attacks.
HTTPS file transfer uses an easy and secure connection to their managed file transfer (MFT) platform to support browser-based transfers without having to install a web server. MFT is primarily a file transfer server, not a web server. This means it is not meant to “serve up” web pages such as a typical web server does for connecting your web browser.
Cloud-based managed file transfer combines the benefits of working in the cloud with the efficiency, security, and automation benefits of managed file transfer. A cloud-based MFT solution can be hosted in your preferred platform or as a SaaS solution hosted by your MFT provider.
Cloud-based security is a two-way street. Both the solution you implement and your organization’s system should meet the standards expected by your IT department, customers, and industry, as well as the compliance requirements outlined by your location or industry.
Cloud MFT offers the benefits of cloud-based solutions, like flexibility, scalability, and work-from-anywhere features, as well as the benefits that make managed file transfer a popular secure file transfer solution. These include data security, workflow automation, and more.
