Knowledge Transfer with Ipswitch File Transfer

Every day, files are exchanged between your systems, employees, and business partners on a global scale.  It’s no secret that with each file transfer, your organization faces potential exposure to viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other malware – and the damaged files, corrupted applications, reduced performance and other adverse business effects that come with them.

Are your file transfers as safe as they can be?  Specifically, when you receive inbound files, are you doing all you can to protect your IT infrastructure from the risk of viruses and malware??  Are your outbound data and file transfers “clean,” so you don’t expose your trading partners to any viruses that might be undetected in your systems???

Ipswitch MOVEit and MessageWay solutions offer the ability to integrate with specific antivirus solutions.  Here’s a link to learn more about MOVEit DMZ’s new ability to integrate with Sophos and Symantec ICAP enabled antivirus solutions to ensure that only clean files enter your infrastructure.

For example, all files uploaded to MOVEit DMZ (including those sent using the person-to-person Ad Hoc Transfer module) are first scanned and validated to ensure that they are free of viruses, trojans, malware and other malicious threats.  If an infected file is detected the following actions will immediately and automatically be taken:

•    Rejects the transfer of the infected file
•    Alerts end user that upload failed due to virus detection
•    Logs the virus, timestamp, the scan engine, version and definition tag
•    Reports the list of infected files that have been detected during a specified time period

By integrating your antivirus solution with your managed file transfer solution, you ensure that all the files you receive are scanned before they enter your network.  Not only does this protect your applications, data and valuable IT assets, but it prevents you from accidentally passing on any viruses that may exist in your systems.

We’re two months into ownership of MessageWay and leading the organization through its second acquisition integration has been fun and challenging. It’s especially nice when we can announce a milestone in the integration process, and that will be coming soon with the release of a “translation connector” existing MOVEit Central customers can use to access the translation capabilities we acquired in the MessageWay software.

Development on the necessary integration components has wrapped up and the package has entered QA.  If you’re interested in a sneak preview, please contact your sales representative for a demonstration.  The screenshot below is from one such demo…

You have a huge file. I’m talking 15GB big. And, it needs to be in the hands of its intended recipient as soon as possible.

You can’t send it through email (thanks, file attachment burden!) and you wouldn’t want to anyways, since it contains all sorts of sensitive information. You can’t put it on a thumb drive or burn it to a disc because those are easily misplaced and could end up in the wrong hands. And you certainly can’t send it through a courier service because that’s way too expensive and really, who has the time for that?

Sendable

So, how’s it gonna get there?

In the time that you wasted trying to figure out how to send that pesky little (ENORMOUS) file…the whole process could have been completed. No joke. You could have sent the file to your recipient’s email account, received a delivery notification, received a download notification, and possibly a phone call from your recipient saying “THANK YOU!!!”

How, do you ask? Why, with Sendable, of course!

Ipswitch File Transfer takes pride in the fact that our solutions are installed and configured quickly by customers.  A key differentiator of ours in the marketplace is that our solutions are deployed much quicker than other vendor products, resulting in our customers seeing very rapid time-to-value from their investment.

However, we’ve been getting requests from some customers and prospects asking for assistance in either deploying or customizing their Ipswitch File Transfer solution – Not because doing it themselves would be overwhelming, overly complicated or time-consuming, rather they simply don’t have the internal resources or expertise to do it themselves.

As a result, Ipswitch File Transfer is pleased to announce the launch of our new portfolio of Professional Services offering for new and existing customers which complement our innovative suite of secure and managed file transfer solutions.
