Managed file transfer (MFT) is a technology platform that manages the secure transfer of data from one computer to another through a network. It 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. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a traditional way of file transfer and lacks security and encryption whereas a Managed File Transfer system is a centralized file transfer system that offers major benefits like security, auditing, tracking amongst the other benefits.
As an organisation, you transfer files and share documents within your company or even outside to your partners, customers etc. According to the industry reports by Global Market Insights, Managed File Transfer Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 10% between 2020 and 2026. Last year in 2019, the market exceeded USD 1 billion.
Owing to the confidentiality and integrity, also rising cases of cyber-attacks across the globe, organisations need a one stop solution for Managed File Transfer to leave the worry of full monitoring and management.
- Automation
Managed File Transfer solution supports automation which is event-driven to perform specific tasks based on events generated on the server, domain, user, and group level, while providing role-specific views in a consistent and comprehensive way.
- Strong Encryption
MFT enables encryption and compresses your file transfers in transit and at rest with several industry standard technologies for securing data, including SSL, Open PGP, AES, and SSH.
- Centralized
MFT brings your encryption, automation, tracking, and auditing together under one roof and allows you to manage it from a central admin interface. Centralizing all aspects of file management with MFT gives you a complete picture of how data is moving around your organization and to external entities so you can spot issues and resolve them quickly.
- Cyber Security
It is crucial for any organization to protect its data. Whether it’s customer data, credit card information, or any other information. Managed file transfer can strengthen cybersecurity by securing file transfers inside and outside the organization. MFT goes beyond sending files between users and systems securely: ensure secure connections, track file transfer activity (including user access) etc.
- Flexibility
Most organizations run heterogeneous environments when it comes to their operating systems. MFT works seamlessly with mostly all the platforms both on premise and on the cloud, whether private cloud or public or even in hybrid environment. Also, MFT provides flexibility in terms of how you transfer the files (ad-hoc, bulk etc.) or in which format.
