Secure file transfer software ensures safe and secure data transfer throughout the network between sources and destinations, such as applications, business partners, and file servers. Using a managed file transfer service, files can be exchanged in a secure and transparent manner with monitoring, global visibility, end-to-end security, and tracking. Regardless of file volume, file size, or complexity, the system moves data efficiently and securely, thus protecting proprietary and confidential data during transit. It is commonly used as a replacement for file transfer protocols like hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and file transfer protocol (FTP). Managed file transfer software is widely used in many industries, including retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG), media and entertainment, IT and telecommunications, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), and the public sector. Key players in the global secure file transfer market are focusing on improving the security of their services by including passwords or SMS-generated pins to access the files stored on the server.
