Data in motion is data at risk. It can fail to reach its destination, become corrupt, or lack the necessary authentication to get to the intended recipient. The consequences of a data breach or failed transfers are such that certain organizations need particularly robust solutions.
FileXpress Solution: Multiple Layers of Security
As part of managing its policies, an insurance company communicates with the police and solicitors on a regular basis. At one point in time, the only way to meet the data security requirements of these partners was to employ a secure courier service—now an outdated, expensive, and time-consuming approach.
In an attempt to improve productivity and streamline file transfer, the company began looking for an MFT solution that could offer fast, secure transfers to external partners—and play a vital role in the company’s ambitions to become a PLC (with the ability to meet the strictest standards of compliance). They chose FileXpress for its ability to meet the following secure file transfer requirements:
- Support a wide range of security protocols, including AS2 and FTPS.
- Run a web-based file transfer portal over HTTPS.
- Encrypt files for transfer with a full range of strong encryption services, including AES encryption, SSL support, and PGP support.
- Authenticate the identity of transfer partners with a full range of authentication methods, including X.509 certificates and SSH public keys.
- Ensure the integrity of files transferred with a combination of message integrity checks, success/failure notifications, real-time alerts, and checkpoint/restart capabilities.
- Audit and report on the transfer process using FileXpress-generated logs that provide details on each transfer-related event.
With FileXpress, the company can securely communicate electronically with those organizations that demand the most stringent file transfer practices.
