The 2018 Guide to Finding a Secure File Transfer Solution

It’s no secret—file transfers are an integral part of how each business runs. From purchase orders and quarterly reports to banking transactions and patient data, organizations may share a multitude of files with various participants every day. Sadly, this reality is threatened by rising cybersecurity threats. Industry experts predict that organizations will see new types of malware, stronger phishing schemes, and data breaches in the cloud in 2018, all of which endanger the security of sensitive company information.

 

To avoid these pitfalls, organizations need to dedicate time, resources, and strategery to the protection of their file transfers if they want to avoid financial disaster from a leak or non-compliance, especially in the wake of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But for businesses with a multitude of considerations beyond their data, is it possible to ensure the safety of their file transfers while meeting the needs of trading partners, preparing for company audits, and keeping track of their IT and security teams’ overall capacity?

 

The answer is yes, if you have the right process in place. A secure file transfer solution easily solves these problems: it centralizes the management, automation, and encryption of transfers in order to make IT and business professionals’ lives easier. Only problem is, there are tons of file transfer solutions on the market. From simple FTP clients to enterprise-level managed file transfer (MFT), which option is the best for your organization, and how should you go about learning what you need to know in order to make an informed purchase decision?
