If you’ve worked with a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution long enough, you’ve probably lived this:Everything checks out.Encryption is on.Audits pass.Compliance boxes are ticked.Nice, right? But risks to your data files still lurk just beyond that smooth experience. Files sometimes go to the wrong place; partner access is too liberal, and small changes can break something in a workflow that no...

People in an organization may first hear the phrase “Zero Trust” in a slide deck about security. It certainly sounds clean, logical, and relatively straightforward. However, when those same people try to apply Zero Trust in a real-world environment, the complexity quickly becomes apparent.“The reason Zero Trust can trip up some organizations is that, in practice, Zero Trust isn’t a product to...

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...

Modern Data Movement Is Outgrowing Traditional MFTData exchange has quietly become one of the most critical layers of modern IT infrastructure. Every day, organizations move large volumes of sensitive information between partners, cloud platforms, internal systems, and external services. These transfers support everything from revenue operations to regulatory reporting.Yet many companies still...

Data doesn’t sit still. Unless controlled, it’s like a 4-year-old hopped up on sugar, moving every which way, regardless of the situation. In most organizations, it’s constantly moving and often faster than the controls meant to protect it. Every day, these organizations move thousands of sensitive files between internal systems, cloud platforms, employees, customers, and external partners....

Technology is now inseparable from modern agriculture. From planting decisions to harvest timing, today’s farms rely increasingly on data to guide nearly every operational choice. Precision agriculture, sometimes called digital or smart farming, has transformed fields into data‑generating environments.Sensors measure soil moisture and nutrients. GPS‑guided equipment tracks movement and performance...

Chances are, your security team doesn’t think about file transfer very often, and that can be a problem.File transfer systems can quietly operate in the background once they’re up and running, getting necessary files to their destination without much fuss. They “just work.” They move data between systems, partners, and environments, doing their job while security attention stays focused on...

For many years, an organization’s Managed File Transfer (MFT) software lived quietly in the background. If files moved from point A to point B, audits were passed, and nothing noticeable broke; the platform rarely came up in security conversations. For most teams, that was good enough. That’s changing!As the threat landscape has evolved, security and IT teams are taking a much closer look at their...

As enterprises move more data across more locations, file transfer performance stops being an afterthought and becomes a real operational issue. What used to be a simple process of moving files from one location to another has evolved to needing to move massive datasets, entire directory trees, and time‑sensitive data between systems that may be spread across regions and even continents.That’s...

GoAnywhere MFT was recently named a G2 Best Software for 2026, earning a Top 10 ranking in the IT Infrastructure Products category—a distinction achieved by less than 1% of vendors evaluated on G2. As an organization providing secure, streamlined, scalable, and user-friendly file transfer solutions around the world, we couldn’t be prouder.But what makes this recognition meaningful isn’t the...

In too many IT environments, there lives a small assortment of “quiet” file transfer scripts that run in the background. They were designed to keep critical processes such as workflows and batch transfer jobs for the organization moving between partners and systems. They may work under the radar and without incident — until something changes. Maybe an outside partner alters a parameter; maybe a...

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...

Reminder: France is continuing its transition to fully digital management of electronic invoices as part of a European initiative aimed at increasing transparency, combating fraud, and simplifying tax obligations. This reform, led by the Ministry of Economy, redefines the role of the Public Invoicing Portal (PPF), which will now focus on transmitting tax data to the administration, while...

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. File movement is also a business necessity, and the processes and technology used to accomplish it should be carefully considered when securing a new solution or migrating from a legacy data...

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...
