Top 3 Things to Look for In MFT Software
Security and compliance
Error handling and peace of mind
Why you should consider an MFT solution?
Inefficient/manual processes
FTE resources
Cost
Prone to error
Maintaining legacy scripts
Potential specialized knowledge
Decentralized
No automated alerting or retry
Reactive – bad perception
SLAs virtually impossible
Old tools being used
PC decentralized tools
Security concerns
Security concerns
Old technology transfer protocols
FTP – clear text creds
Exploited ciphers and algorithms
Human intervention
To err is human
Sending to wrong recipient
Sending in clear text
Encryption
In transfer
At rest
All lead to bottom line increases
Information Exchange Issues
GoAnywhere Overview
DMZ Secure Gateway
No incoming ports are opened into the private (internal) network.
No sensitive files are stored in the DMZ.
User credentials are maintained/stored in the private network.
Gateway supports FTPS, SFTP, SCP, and HTTPS file transfer protocols.
No special hardware components. This is a software-only solution.
Case Studies – Healthcare
Inefficient
Consuming IT resources for maintenance
No auto retries
Auditing was minimal and not centralized or alerted upon
Problems caused long outages
Security Issues
FTP sending credentials in clear text
PHI data at risk in transfer and at rest
Solution
Implement centralized MFT solution
Secure transfer protocols – SFTP
PGP file level encryption
Automated workflows to eliminate human intervention

Human intervention to receive and process
Secure Folders
HTTPS secure web client
Ease of use and can leverage end-to-end encryption
Secure Forms

MFT securely transfers attachments
between employees or trading partners.
The ICAP Gateway only intercepts content
when threat protection and DLP
requirements exist.
ICAP runs rule set (keyword search,
executable renaming, script removal, etc.).
If the content can be sanitized, the
transmission is allowed and continues.
If the content cannot be sanitized, the
transmission is blocked.
