Revolutionary SFTP
Reduce Cybersecurity Risk, Simplify Processes, Accelerate Business Responsiveness, and Reduce Costs
SFTP, a legacy file transfer technology from the 1990s, is so hard to modernize because it is deeply embedded in essential business processes like shipping, payments, contract manufacturing, regulatory reporting, and payroll. Unfortunately, outdated implementations are loaded with cybersecurity and compliance risks, and create unnecessary complexity that slows responsiveness to business changes and drives up costs.
Legacy SFTP Problem 1
Admin’s Manual Steps and Scripting Impede Execution
Business execution depends on a technical person to write and maintain custom scripts or manually perform virtually every SFTP activity:
- File sharing, folder management, and user access permissions
- File life-cycle management, such as expiration
- Most security, compliance, and audit logging settings and configuration
Solution Highlights
- Self-service Frees IT & Users
- Automated Policy Controls & Audit Logging
- Hardened & Secure by Default
- Unified, Scalable Platform

Legacy SFTP Problem 2
An Additional Server for Each Business Process
The legacy architecture dramatically increases complexity and costs: It forces IT to deploy and manage a separate SFTP server for every business process, and additional servers for other protocols such as web portals.
