In the past, manual FTP may have been sufficient, particularly when businesses housed their own servers or datacenters. Many businesses have seen the benefit from offloading various IT services to the cloud (Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud etc). What this means is that your businesses data no longer resides locally within the local network. The challenge this poses is that companies data is stored in different places, in a number of different repositories and this may require synchronisation. Also, as we deal with more complex integrations, it highlights the need for greater protection, encryption and security of business data, especially while in transit. It’s not surprising that areas such as encryption, cybersecurity and data loss prevention (dlp) feature heavily within IT Roadmaps and Business Strategy. Coviant Software provide best-in-class PGP encryption of data. Also, with Diplomat MFT, you can also initiate, terminate, and monitor file transfer jobs and more from app servers or using your DevOps tools or enterprise job management platforms.
