Organizations depend on their managed file transfer solutions to move their business-critical and often highly sensitive data reliably and securely. To ensure the platform performs under the heaviest of real‑world conditions, rigorous, repeatable, and highly structured stress tests need to be conducted. These tests are designed to push solutions far beyond their typical workloads to validate their...

The sheer volume of data managed and exchanged by large enterprises needing information to flow seamlessly and securely across teams and partners necessitates scalable file management. Old school or manual processes just don’t cut it anymore with the risk of security gaps, complex compliance requirements, and fragile operations —not to mention the potential for costly downtime.Adopting a Managed...

What is Stress Testing?Stress testing (or load testing) in software design is a type of performance testing that evaluates how a system behaves under extreme or unfavorable conditions. The goal is to determine the system’s stability, reliability, and robustness when pushed beyond normal operational limits.What Stress Testing InvolvesThis process goes beyond normal performance checks. Instead,...

Let’s face it. File transfer solutions don’t feel flashy. They move payroll, claims, statements, and more—quietly, every day. They operate “under the radar” until something breaks or gets exploited. Then you’re staring at exfiltration, notifications, downtime, and an ugly board of director's update. That’s why MFT (Managed File Transfer) can’t live as “just plumbing.” The CISO, or Chief...

AI, Automation, and Advanced Reporting: Redefining How Data MovesTechnology as we know it today, is ever-changing, and the software solutions designed to move the most sensitive data for organizations, and their trading partners, are also rapidly evolving.“The need for compliant, automated, and secure file transfers continues to grow as more information is exchanged than ever before,” notes Chris...

MFT’s Role in Business Today: It’s Bigger Than You May ThinkIn our fast-moving digital economy, how data moves efficiently and safely isn’t just a pressing concern for IT staff to determine and manage.

As organizations expand and contract, so does the complexity of their data transfer needs. Robust Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions helps smooth out the rollercoaster organizations may be on today (at least when it comes to getting critical, sensitive data where it needs to be). Incorporating MFT that is scalable, automated, and secure isn’t optional. It’s essential for enterprises managing...

Professional organizer, Marie Kondo might say, "The best way to choose what to keep and what to throw away is to ask yourself, "'Does this spark joy?'" She goes on to recommend people keep items that do and dispose of those that don't. While this approach may be suitable for tidying up the storage room, managing organizational data retention requires a more comprehensive set of recommendations...

General purpose IT troubleshooting is a dying art. Of course, you can go online and find all kinds of videos and blogs on how to troubleshoot specific issues. Or with a few clicks fire up robust tools like AI search engines (such as Perplexity) or AI assistants with broad capabilities (such as ChatGPT), which are capable of generating human-like text, answering questions, and performing various...

What is the ViDA Initiative and When is it Effective?The European Commission is driving digital transformation through its ViDA (VAT in the Digital Age) initiative. Organizations worldwide must prepare now or risk compliance penalties. The ViDA requirement was adopted in March 2025 and is currently in a rollout stage that is to occur over the next several years, with certain parliaments enforcing...

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...

Moving essential goods or services across the country or around the world is an industry many people don’t give much thought to, unless of course a shipment is late or misdirected, or when geopolitical shifts alter the course of “normal” supplies. This critical function of modern life, with a market projected to near $31 billion by 2026, is not without risk or disruptions. And these risks can come...

When it comes to cybercrime, credit unions are no less targeted than large, multi-national banking institutions. After all, if money talks, cybercrime targeting financial institutions screams. According to Security Magazine, 64% of surveyed financial institutions experienced a cyberattack in 2024. And according to an American Banking Journal article, the average cost of a financial sector data...

Land surveyors, film production crews, power line and gas pipeline inspectors, news reporters, and accident investigators all have a few things in common. First, they are almost always on the road and second, they need to collect a lot of digital information that needs to be uploaded to the home office quickly and reliably.Achieving big data transfers from the road doesn’t have to be laborious or...

Whether you're working from a coffee shop or reviewing sensitive files from a hotel room while traveling, today’s workforce thrives and often demands flexibility. But this work-from-anywhere convenience comes with risk—especially when accessing or transferring sensitive data over unsecured networks. Public Wi-Fi or mobile hotspots can get you connected when away, but they can also open the door to...

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...

Disasters come in many forms —floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes — all with the power to destroy or seriously impact your organization’s data. And cybercrime disasters, such as ransomware can create disastrous results of their own. In today’s cybersecurity landscape, ransomware probably has a higher chance of hitting your organization than those unfortunate weather-related crises. And...
