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 With outdated scripting, pricey licensing, and a decentralized file transfer process, they sought a file transfer solution able to meet their needs for a more robust, modern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?

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

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

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....

Are You Paying for MFT Capabilities You’re Not Using?

Too many organizations don’t realize how much of their Managed File Transfer (MFT) investment goes unused until they take a closer look. If you think this apply to you, consider whether you’ve: Bought into a “full feature set” Planned extensively for future needs. Accepted bundled pricing as the norm Did you find that months after implementation you’re still only using a fraction of what you’re...

From Silos to Governance: Securing IT/OT Data Movement

In this session, Fortra’s Jerrod Foster & Michael Barford walked through the fundamentals of IT/OT integration, where the security and compliance risks actually live, and how a managed file transfer architecture built for complex environments can replace fragile, ungoverned data movement with something organizations can actually control, audit, and maintain at scale.

Protecting File Transfers with Real-Time Threat Detection and Encryption

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

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...

Industry-Ready MFT: Why Secure Data Exchange Still Breaks Across Sectors

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...

The Evolution of MFT: Why Secure File Transfer Is No Longer Enough

For most organizations and IT teams, Managed File Transfer (MFT) hasn’t been something they set out to rethink. In most cases, it’s simply something they inherited.Typically, the MFT platform was put in place years ago to solve a clear problem: how to securely exchange business-critical files. Over time, that platform stayed in place as everything around it changed:Data volumes grew...

Rethinking MFT Security: 10 Critical Considerations for Modern Teams

Managed File Transfer (MFT) is no longer background infrastructure. It’s a core security control point—handling personal, regulated, and business‑critical data at massive scale.Yet many MFT platforms in use today were deployed under assumptions that no longer hold. Files move. Jobs run. Audits pass. But the threat model has changed—and so has the blast radius when something goes wrong.Rethinking...
