Secure file sharing for banks has always been of utmost importance and is only gaining traction in the face of common cybersecurity threats and compliance requirements alike.
Requirements like PCI DSS, GDPR, GLBA, and more can make processes more complicated, even as the safeguards outlined within them promote data security to protect both businesses and their clients in the face of cyber threats. As one of the most-threatened industries globally, banking and finance relies on security solutions to protect their infrastructures, networks, and data.
How One Polynesian Bank Uses GoAnywhere MFT for Secure File Sharing
As GDPR requirements loomed, Banque SOCREDO, French Polynesia’s primary bank, needed to take a step back and reassess various software security issues, including data visibility and file transfers. At the time, the bank was using a transfer tool alongside processes developed in-house, which were becoming increasingly complicated and unsustainable to maintain.
With the guidance of ESBD, a security solutions distributor based in France and a Fortra Business Partner, they were able to solve both problems with ease. After successfully validating and implementing a data classification tool and auditing tool, the team at Banque SOCREDO again turned to ESBD for their expertise in data security software and this new need for managed file transfer (MFT).
They chose GoAnywhere MFT as the best solution to streamline and track data exchanges. While its flexibility, scalability, and transfer tracking capabilities met their immediate needs, they quickly found that GoAnywhere’s features solved other file transfer headaches. With GoAnywhere MFT, they were able to:
- Standardize and automate common file transfers
- Easily track file movements and generate audit reports
- Identify file transfer errors and quickly resume file exchanges
