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.

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!
