File transfer security

Overview

With the growth in data security breaches, and the increased amount of sensitive customer data traveling in files, security is a critical concern for all organizations. Recent survey data shows that companies are turning to “on-the-wire” encryption as a first line of defense. This includes technologies like SFTP and FTPS. While an important first step, transfer encryption does not address the protection of “data-at-rest” on the file transfer server. And since this is an add-on to standard FTP, it means implementing and maintaining it is more difficult.
