Now organizations can enforce consistent policies and processes around person-to-person file-transfers – email encryption, attachment offloading, secure messaging, eDiscovery, and more – with the MOVEit DMZ Ad Hoc Transfer module.
The Ad Hoc Transfer enables person-to-person file transfer in a visible and well managed way while giving end users a secure way to quickly send encrypted files and secure messages to other people using their browser or Outlook.
Now there's a better option than insecure email, instant messenger, third-party software, thumb drives, or file transfer websites. Not only are these tools outside of the organization's control and often insecure, but they are also becoming increasingly restricted as companies seek to improve governance, visibility, and security of company information.
With the MOVEit DMZ Ad Hoc Transfer module, authorized MOVEit DMZ users can securely transfer encrypted files (or folders of files) and send secure messages to anyone in the world using either a Web browser or Microsoft Outlook. They can send an encrypted package of files along with an optional secure message to an unlimited number of recipients, even those who are not MOVEit DMZ users. Senders can also "recall" files after they have been sent so they are no longer available for download.
Recipients are sent email notification the instant a MOVEit DMZ user sends them an encrypted file or a secure message. The email notification includes an embedded link to securely download the file or files, an optional note from the sender, and password requirements.
This email message can be viewed in any email client or Webmail application, and the recipient only has to click the embedded link to access the files. Recipients can also send encrypted files back to the original sender. File recipients can retrieve files from their preferred Web browser – including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome – without the need to install any plug-ins or additional third-party software. Recipients don't even need to be a MOVEit DMZ user to be able to receive the file packages.
By providing employees an easy way to securely send files to other people, the Ad Hoc Transfer module reduces employees' reliance on insecure email, instant messenger, and third-party file transfer software and websites, not to mention thumb drives and DVDs.
This solution gives IT the visibility and control it needs to effectively offload email attachments and give the entire organization the data protection it requires. Additionally, the Ad Hoc Transfer module frees IT departments from the administrative burden related to provisioning users on the file transfer server, improves overall file transfer governance, and streamlines visibility, logging, and reporting of all file transfers for compliance and auditing purposes. Administrators can automate the remote installation of the Outlook plug-in on end user computers with the MSI installation package using Active Directory Group Policy.
The module also provides all the advantages of eDiscovery. With tamper-evident logging, complete package archiving, users can access all transferred data – not just what was sent or received.
