FTP Today Partnership with Carahsoft for GOVFTP Cloud

Cyber and Data Security DFARS FTP Solutions GOVFTP Cloud Government Compliance ITAR NIST PCI Secure File Sharing The Cloud

In a press release last year, Carahsoft announced FTP Today has joined the Carahsoft Cloud Purchasing Program (CPP). The program is for government contractors who rely on CarahPoints to purchase the software and tools necessary to run their business. Continue reading to find out what this could mean for you!

What is the Carahsoft Cloud Purchasing Program?

Carahsoft’s Cloud Purchasing Program (CPP) offers a flexible way to acquire cloud products and services from either a single or multiple vendors in the form of CarahPoints. 

CPP provides a flexible and cost-effective option to redeem CarahPoints for cloud products and services through a single SKU while paying for what is used or consumed. Whether you are making smaller, transactional purchases or larger, strategically planned investments, the program can fit your needs.  

This is important to companies and government entities because all vendors in the CPP program have already negotiated terms. For an organization who might many different vendors, this makes the procurement process simpler as they are not negotiating unique terms with each vendor. FTP Today can work directly with government organizations who require specific GSA schedule contracts, SEWP Contracts, State & Local, Education, or Cooperate Contracts. The list of FTP Today’s available contract vehicles through CPP is located here.

Data Security Breaches: The Consequences + Hacking Prevention Best Practices

May 12, 2022

Over the last month we have written several pieces of content reviewing the differences in the infrastructure, software, and categories of file sharing/file transfer solutions. This blog will be the last installment of this series. In this blog we deep dive into some of the largest security breaches in the file transfer/file sharing industry, the consequences and how to avoid falling victim to a cybersecurity attack. One of the largest growing security threats in business today is data and information security. Protecting your organizations files and other important data from hackers is crucial to business operations. Unfortunately, the damaging effects of a data breach have impacted some of the largest companies in the world like Accellion, AWS, Morgan Stanley, CVS, Wegmans, Microsoft, Facebook, HubSpot and more. On the surface, many of these organizations seemed like they would be impenetrable. The size or nature of your business does not matter. It is more important than ever to protect your information from hackers – specifically enterprise data such as personal identifiable information (PII), personal healthcare information (PHI), payment information, or covered unclassified information (CUI). It is crucial to understand that how this data is sent or shared, stored and received is any organizations biggest threat.

Key Differences: EFSS vs MFT/MFTaaS

May 5, 2022

In our last few blog posts, we’ve explored potential options and solutions for file transfer platforms. However, we wanted to specifically emphasize the comparison between MFT (Managed File Transfer)/MFTaaS (Managed File Transfer as a Service) and EFSS (Enterprise File Sync and Share). Some key terms we hear regularly in IT conversations - specifically about data/information or file sharing/transfer - are MFT (Managed File Transfer), MFTaaS (Managed File Transfer as a Service) and EFSS (Enterprise File Sync and Share). Both MFT and EFSS can be implemented on premise, in the public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, while MFTaaS is marketed as a SaaS option where your organization is procuring the management and software from a vendor such as FTP Today to remove the additional management load of infrastructure, platform, configuration and monitoring from administrators. Additionally, all these solutions are going to be used for transferring or sharing data/information, files, etc. to/from multiple devices, locations, users, organizations, but EFSS stands in contrast to MFT/MFTaaS. An additional concern for IT being burdened with the task of deciding if EFSS or MFT/MFTaaS is the more secure option. This is caused by the rise of external information security regulations and internal increases in security posture requiring more robust cybersecurity defense. There is confusion around the resemblance of these solutions. Can these solutions be used synonymously? When should you use one or the other? Do these solutions do the same thing? We wrote this blog to hopefully clear up some of these questions!
