Choosing a Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform isn't simply a technology decision. It's a decision about how critical business data will move across and beyond your organization for years to come. Most MFT evaluations start the same way. Buyers compare encryption standards, supported protocols, deployment models, automation capabilities, and pricing. Those factors matter of course, but they...

Healthcare organizations exchange clinical and operational data constantly. Everything from electronic health records (EHRs), lab results, imaging files, insurance claims, referrals, billing information, and patient communications move between providers, payers, business associates, cloud platforms, and third-party applications all day, every day. And much of that information contains protected...

At 7:30 a.m., a physician reviews overnight lab results before morning rounds. Across the hall, a registration team is processing new patient intake forms. In another office, claims data is being sent to an insurer. Different workflows, different systems, and different teams, but they all depend on information moving quickly and accurately behind the scenes. Yet behind every one of these...

Across industries, one thing is constant: business depends on data moving securely, reliably, and continuously.Whether that data is tied to payments, patient records, supply chains, or regulatory reporting, if file transfers fail, operations don’t just slow down, they can stall critical workflows entirely, creating downstream delays and risk.Yet despite how critical data movement is, many...

There’s a moment most security leaders and teams recognize. It’s when encryption of sensitive files is technically “in place” and audits are going well but something still feels exposed. These doubts may arise because no one can confidently say how that encryption behaves under pressure, change, or attack.That’s where FIPS 140‑3 enters the conversation. Not as a checkbox, and not as a marketing...

A trusted Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution safeguards the secure, compliant, and reliable movement of sensitive data across the enterprise, making it mission-critical technology for organizations of almost any size. With so much riding on this foundation, it’s important to understand the key considerations that shape MFT pricing and what organizations should evaluate before investing.MFT Adds...

Compliance Requires Secure Data MovementIf you or your team are feeling the pressure that comes along with organizational obligations to meet compliance regulations for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR or SOX, there is a release valve.And that should come as a relief as the rising costs of non-compliance can be crippling, both financially and reputation-wise, with huge fines and incalculable loss of trust...

Expecting smooth sailing when transferring sensitive files ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship, or shore-to-ship? Without a robust, accelerated file transfer solution in place expect to encounter some rough waters in terms of reliability, speed, and integrity.When at-sea connectivity challenges exist, such as with high latency or unstable bandwidth, and the reliability of file transfers is imperative, you...

Organizations expect security and stability when sending sensitive files. However, achieving these goals can get a bit tricky without robust and accelerated file transfer software—especially when using satellite services. Internet over satellite has been around since the mid-1990s using traditional data satellites such as VSAT, HughesNet, and Iridium – all which operate in geo-stationary orbit (22...

Efficiency: It’s a goal that’s permeating conversations in government circles at all levels lately (and other industries as well). Whether that aim is eliminating cumbersome processes or error-prone legacy systems, nearly every department and entity (including contractors working with government entities) are aiming for a more streamlined way of doing more with less – less effort, fewer personnel,...

Sharing files in most any industry requires some level of security to protect what is often an organization’s most valuable asset – the data entrusted to it. When it comes to the military, the defense industry, or other high-security organizations – government or private – prioritizing the security of files via solutions that offer segmentation opportunities to thwart intrusion is a must...

The game is changing. Data is still being breached but with AI and digitization running at full gallop, organizations may be facing breaches at a scope previously unimagined. IBM recently released their 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, highlighting some of these changes. This year’s findings may have the gravity to impact the way people think about protecting their data. General Trends This...

Whether big government or small, assuring the security of files in the public sector is of utmost importance for security, as well as assuring any information from citizens is protected. According to 2021 US Census data, there are 90,000 government entities. Protecting the data these agencies handle is admittedly a big lift.Not only are government...

HIPAA Compliance and File Transfer: What You Need to KnowThe Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) secures the Protected Health Information (PHI) of healthcare system users within the United States. Since the Omnibus Rule went into effect in 2013, millions of healthcare “business associates” have been included under the...

When it comes to information security, few industries top the government – at all levels – when it comes to requirements and compliance designed to protect the sensitive data it collects, manages, and exchanges. And while it may seem like just more red tape, these standards and requirements are for the benefit of the people as well as the...

Complying with stringent HIPAA requirements requires strong encryption protocols. GoAnywhere MFT utilizes FTPS, the more commonly used SFTP, and other protocols for secure file sharing.

If government IT departments were to debate on key cybersecurity issues, one that likely keeps people up at night is how to help ensure their sensitive, often top-secret, data is secure when being sent in and out of their network. While there may be several candidates in the running to address this cybersecurity issue, a leading solution contender...

Cybersecurity for Government is CrucialIn these trying times government agencies everywhere must be resilient when it comes to cybersecurity.Cyber resilience is an organization’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. A cyber-resilient organization can adequately adapt to known and unknown crises, threats, adversities,...

HITRUST Compliance Helps to Manage RiskThe secure storage and transfer of sensitive data is of the utmost importance to the healthcare industry. Data security and complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is paramount, yet doing so can often be complex and difficult to maintain.This is where HITRUST comes in as a...

Every year the healthcare industry is greeted with headlines stating that ‘last year was the most-breached ever.’ And that trend is unlikely to stop in 2022. The healthcare industry has historically been one of the most-targeted by hackers, and one of the most breached by internal actors. Key reasons why include vast amounts of extra sensitive...
