Tips and Tricks Guide to Managed File Transfer
Too many businesses are trusting critical data and processes to home-grown, do-it-yourself, insecure, unreliable, and manual processes. When your company needs to move and process important information - and protect it while doing so — you need a business-class solution that has been specifically designed to meet those important business needs. That's what true Managed File Transfer is all about: Managing files as they transit your organization and your partners', managing those files through post-transfer processes, and securing and tracking those files to help you meet both internal and external security requirements. IT expert Don Jones introduces you to some of the key differentiators with Managed File Transfer, helps you understand core capabilities and subtle implementation variations, and shows you how to construct a shopping list of capabilities that you need for your environment.

Overcoming Key File Transfer Problems
Organizations must transfer enormous amounts of information to support a wide range of business processes.

These content transfers must take place in a timely manner and be managed in a consistent, compliant and efficient way.

Ending the Threat of Weak User Passwords for File Transfer Servers
The confidential information stored on your file transfer server is at risk! Over two-thirds of users create simple passwords that can be hacked quickly—in less than one second, in many cases.

Ipswitch secure file transfer solutions deliver a proven, simple, and innovative method for exceeding your PCI DSS compliance needs.
