Key Benefits of Secure Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Automation Ease

File transfer automation helps reduce the risk of human error during the routine, repetitive tasks around sending files manually. Eliminating the often high-touch tasks associated with transferring large or batch files through multi-step workflows and built-in scheduling can save time, money, and frustration. Monitored folders, automated email alerts, automated secure forms, and processing for triggered events help streamline transfers, freeing staff up for higher-priority responsibilities.

Integrating Clearswift Secure ICAP Gateway with MFT

The Secure ICAP Gateway (SIG) adds significant data security assurances and value to MFT through its threat protection, deep content inspection engine, adaptive data redaction, and flexible policy settings, while MFT makes defining, managing, and securing files at rest and in motion easier. 

One common use case: 

  1. MFT securely transfers attachments between employees or trading partners 
  2. The ICAP only intercepts content when threat protection and data loss prevention requirements exist 
  3. ICAP runs rule set (keyword search, executable renaming, script removal, etc.) 
  4. If the content can be sanitized, the transmission is allowed and continues 
  5. If the content cannot be sanitized, the transmission is blocked 

Additional features you can add to your file transfer process are structural sanitization, document sanitization, data redaction, anti-steganography, and optical character recognition. Adding the security features within ICAP helps you get the best and most thorough security for file transfers.

MFT + ICAP: A Secure File Transfer Combination

Sharing critical information inside and outside your organization requires an unprecedented level of management control and security. These two solutions seamlessly integrate to deliver threat protection and data loss prevention (DLP) alongside MFT. 

This security pairing ensures data reduction and sanitization are automated so that information shared via MFT is only accessed by authorized parties and safe from malicious threats. 

By layering two robust data security solutions, organizations can safely share information, which is protected based on content, context and required regulation policy. Malicious or information not deemed safe to share, even hidden metadata, is automatically redacted or sanitized, but the rest of the communication can continue, to keep business rolling without the usual stop-and-block of less sophisticated solutions. 

Here’s how the pairing of MFT with ICAP works for one customer.
