Impressive news coming from Ipswitch File Transfer today. The MOVEit brand of Managed File Transfer solutions has received Federal Certification with the U.S. Army’s Certificate of Networthiness.
“…the United States Army’s Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) has approved a Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) for the Ipswitch MOVEit Central and MOVEit DMZ secure managed file transfer software products (versions 5.0 and 5.2). This is in addition to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation the MOVEit products have previously received, and the Department of Defense Common Access Card (CAC) single sign-on (SSO) authentication support that MOVEit DMZ provides.
Data security is absolutely crucial to our armed forces. CoN certification, FIPS 140-2 validation and CAC SSO support are just a few of the reasons why MOVEit Central and MOVEit DMZ are especially well suited for protecting sensitive government data,” said Gary Shottes, president Ipswitch File Transfer division.”
Nice to see that the developer of WS_FTP Professional, my favorite secure file transfer client, is also providing solutions deemed secure enough for the US Government. Something about that is comforting to me as a customer of Ipswitch software!
