Cybersecurity Ventures, damage related to cybercrime is predicted to cost in excess of $6 trillion annually
by 2021. The total cost of a successful cyber attack for one organization is over $5 million, or a whooping
$301 per employee.
The most expensive component of a cyber attack is information loss, which represents 43 percent of
costs. It’s critical to combat the growing cybersecurity incidents out there, make sure your data is
transferred smoothly, and keep your information secure.
GoAnywhere’s secure managed file transfer (MFT) solution is a great resource for helping with
cybersecurity needs. At its roots, MFT is a robust and core solution that seamlessly meets all aspects of
inbound and outbound file transfers through encryption technologies (e.g., Open PGP) and industry-
standard protocols (e.g., SFTP and FTPS). However, MFT isn’t just for sending files between users and
systems, it’s also ideal for data loss protection. MFT comes with many modules and features that can be
used to track file transfer activity, automate processes, and ensure secure connections.
Is the Cloud Really All it is cracked up to Be?
Cloud computing is an on-demand and useful way of computing power and storing data, all without direct
active management by the user. Generally, cloud environments may be limited to a single organization
or they may be available to many organizations – or they can be a combination of both. They can be
installed on each user’s computer and accessed from different locations or while traveling, making them
a truly great resource.
When it comes to cybersecurity, the cloud can be a dangerous resource as it often serves as the main
hub for a variety of sensitive data, all needing strict protection. Having one hub for everything is great,
but it’s not so great if there is a security breach. However, there is excellent news for GoAnywhere MFT
users!
GoAnywhere MFT can be installed on-premises, in the cloud, or within a hybrid environment.
GoAnywhere’s cloud connectivity features provide the flexibility to partially or completely migrate to an
Azure or Amazon cloud infrastructure. GoAnywhere also offers easy working access to web and cloud
services like Dropbox, SharePoint, and Salesforce using the cloud integrations. These integrations, called
Cloud Connectors are enabled through connections with APIs like SOAP and RESTful web services.
No matter how important the file a trading partner requests or how much billing and contact info you may
have to send, Cloud Connectors let you easily, and securely, integrate with the web applications you use
every day.
Is Automation Important?
If you are responsible for transferring a large number of files chock-full of sensitive data, then automation
is a perfect fit for you. If IT staff members are spending countless and priceless hours waiting on inbound
and outbound transfers, or manually processing data, then precious time and money is being wasted. It’s
