The Aberdeen Group just published a new report on Secure & Managed File Transfer that I’d say is a must read for anyone interested or responsible for ensuring that their organization uses safe, reliable and compliant solution for both internal and external movement of company information.
Here are a couple of great stats from the paper:
o The number one driver for an organizations focus on Secure Managed File Transfer is “collaboration with trusted third parties”
o “Protecting data in transit” is the leading strategy being employed by best-in-class organizations investing in Secure Managed File Transfer
I think this quote summarizes the current business trend nicely and highlights the growing adoption of leading file transfer solutions: “Secure/managed file transfer is rapidly becoming a ubiquitous need — both between organizations and within organizations, both for regularly scheduled data transmission and for ad hoc collaboration — between partners, suppliers and customers everywhere.”
