Overview of Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Transferring data and securing it during a speedy and routine transfer is becoming increasingly important for commercial use. MFT solutions involve service or software, which helps enterprises secure day-to-day data transfers. Managed file transfers, commonly known as MFTs, involve use of end-to-end encryption, performance metrics, file transfer notifications, non-repudiation, auditability, automation of file transfer-related activities and related processes.

More and more enterprises are realizing that MFTs are essential for secure file transfers as opposed to widely used FTPs, which were a common sight at various organizations earlier. MFTs, however, need to adapt to become more scalable, fall in line with SAAS trends, and cater to a wide variety of needs of various different organizations to remain competitive in the near future.
