Large Supply Chain Organization Implements GoAnywhere MFT to Replace Scripting and Pricey Integration Platforms

A leading supply chain and logistics solutions provider had their file transfer process spread across multiple integration platforms and Perl scripts that were difficult to manage effectively. With outdated scripting, pricey licensing, and a decentralized file transfer process, they sought a file transfer solution able to meet their needs for a more robust, modern data exchange solution that could replace their scripts and costly platform integrations, while offering predictable pricing, better centralization of processes, and more transparency.

TCP vs. SSH: What’s the Difference and How Do They Work Together?

By Heath Kath on Tue, 07/21/2026
When discussing secure networking and file transfers, IT professionals often encounter the comparison of TCP vs SSH. At first glance, these technologies may seem related, or even interchangeable, as they frequently work together in network communications. However, TCP and SSH serve very different purposes.People often compare TCP and SSH, as SSH typically operates over TCP, leading some to assume...

Secure Patient Data Without Slowing Care: Why Healthcare Organizations Are Rethinking Data Exchange

By Jeff Burkett on Mon, 07/20/2026
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...

Securing the OT Perimeter: Rethinking File Transfer as a Critical Security Control

Most organizations connecting IT and OT environments believe their file transfer processes are “secure.” Encryption is in place. Network controls are defined. Access is restricted.But in practice, risk doesn’t come from missing controls. It comes from how data actually moves: manual workarounds, unmanaged scripts, uncontrolled third-party access, and transfers that operate outside consistent...

Why Secure Data Exchange Is the New IT/OT Control Point

By Heath Kath on Wed, 07/08/2026
The IT/OT convergence problem isn’t where most teams think As organizations connect their information technology (IT) systems with operational technology (OT) environments, most security conversations are still focusing inward on endpoints, networks, and system hardening risks. But in practice, risk is not merely concentrated inside OT systems. It’s found at the edges, where data moves in and out....

Protecting File Transfers with Real-Time Threat Detection and Encryption

By Chris Bailey on Mon, 06/22/2026
File transfers don’t fail in obvious ways anymore. In the vast majority of cases, they don’t break because of missing encryption or because a protocol is outdated. Most organizational environments already have those basics in place. The problem and cause of most failures now is what happens around the transfer: who initiates it, where it goes, how it behaves, and whether anyone even notices when...

How End-to-End Encryption Supports Modern Cybersecurity Strategies

By Heath Kath on Tue, 06/09/2026
As organizations expand across cloud platforms, partner ecosystems, and distributed work environments, the way data moves and how that data is protected has understandably become more complex. Traditional security models that were built around perimeter defenses are no longer sufficient as data now travels across networks the organization has no control over, making in-transit data protection as...
