DESCRIPTION
How to Create a Secure FTP Alternative When Enterprises Are Saying Goodbye to Old Methods of File Transfer The most common ways of file sharing have been email and FTP. Email has its own limitation in terms of the size of attachment, high storage requirement on Exchange server and fat Outlook PST size – making it very inefficient causing loss of productivity to employees. On the other hand, FTP/SFTP are difficult to use for end-users and it poses many challenges for enterprise IT administrator: • End-user challenges o Difficult for users to collaborate large files o The process of downloading a SFTP client, logging in, and then uploading is time consuming and tedious o Now way to know who is downloading and viewing files on the FTP site, and at what time • Enterprise IT challenges o FTP credential exchange pose security risks o Lack the reporting and tracking capabilities pose significant regulatory compliances – particularly in verticals like Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) o Higher storage cost as data size increases at record pace o Need for regular maintenance o Non-trivial time spent in setting up users and hence difficult to keep up to pace with increased file transfer demands In absence of any better alternative, business users are falling pray to third-party consumer file sharing (like Dropbox, Box, Yousendit or Hightail) causing security, data loss and compliance issues for organizations. Vaultize has been helping businesses – including large enterprises in highly regulated and security conscious verticals to replace their FTP sites. As FTP alternative, Vaultize allows end-users to seamlessly share files within and outside the company using secure links and at the same time allowing IT administrator to define the sharing policies to control, manage and monitor the movement of files. IT can also define the access policies allowing them to control how and from where the shared contents can be accessed by the recipients. Without changing the normal workflow, end-users can share files and folders through simple right-click on Windows explorer, easy uploads through drag-n-drop on Web UI, through mobile apps or file/folder sync through desktop client. Outlook Plugin also converts attachments into secure links based on IT policy.
