Business Services

If delivering information is at the heart of your business, you have to do it right. That means securing and managing all types of file transfer in order to avoid serious repercussions, including:

• Data losses and breaches. Organizations that handle sensitive information — whether it’s business intelligence, market research, or personal and financial data for payroll processing — are natural targets for hackers and identity thieves.
• Regulatory violations and fines (including SOX, HIPAA, PCI, BASEL III, MHLW, EMEA, and GLBA). Failure to secure data (at rest and in motion) or enable timely audits of file transfers and data access can carry steep penalties, both financially and in terms of damaged brands and customer/partner relationships.
• Unmet SLAs and missed business opportunities. Late, failed, or inaccurate file transfers can jeopardize SLAs, and the inability to quickly establish secure connections to deliver new services leaves money on the table.

Axway can mitigate these risks to your information, your reputation, and your revenue streams by ensuring security and compliance for all file transfers and improving the agility and value of your existing IT assets.

Protect data and ensure compliance

Minimizing expensive paper trails and manual touch points makes it easier to secure and control information flowing between your internal systems, as well as in and out of your enterprise. With an Axway solution, you can:

• Automatically analyze the content of files and email messages (and their attachments) to protect against data loss, security breaches, and regulatory violations. Industry-specific and customizable filters identify a wide range of sensitive information, including financial data, customer and personnel data, invoices, and intellectual property and trade secrets, and reduce the risk of data breach through powerful data loss prevention capabilities.
• Secure ad hoc file transfer by eliminating the temptation for employees to exchange information via risky methods like ftp, standard email, and thumb drives. Axway brings enterprise-class Managed File Transfer (MFT) capabilities to the tools they already use, without requiring changes to the way they work.
  • Email — Prevent accidental data loss, protect data in transit, increase employee productivity, and reduce IT management costs by enabling users to securely send large file attachments (up to 50GB) to groups or individuals using the email interfaces or web-based clients they already know. With a click of a button, Axway File Transfer Direct automatically and transparently invokes your corporate security policies, including content filtering and encryption.
  • Portal — Provide secure file transfer services via a zero-footprint web interface. Behind the scenes of your familiar service portal, completely transparent Axway gateways guarantee delivery and data integrity, secure data streaming across the DMZ, support flexible enterprise authentication and repository encryption, and enable effective and efficient auditing.
  • Both options support single sign on and LDAP integration for easy on-boarding of new users while maintaining the ability to set and enforce global policies beyond your corporate network.

Flexible, auditable Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Axway MFT solutions improve business agility by establishing the pillars of IT governance — visibility, policy, and community — you need to secure, monitor, and track the information that fuels your business:

Visibility — End-to-end monitoring and tracking of file movements, including internal file transfer, automated file transfer to and from clients and partners, multi-site transfer, portal-based services, and ad-hoc human-to-human file transfer.

• Architect your file transfer service your way (peer-to-peer or hub-and-spoke) with support for event-driven, scheduled, store-and-forward, and push or pull file transfer.
• Automatically detect, move, and process files and trigger email notifications to meet extremely tight SLAs.
• Ensure reliable transfer when volume, size, type, and frequency of data exchange are unpredictable. Checkpoint restart capabilities ensure delivery of very large files in case of transmission failure.
• Protect business relationships and reduce costs over your entire data exchange environment by detecting and correcting malfunctions in real time, before they become critical.
• Use smoothly triggered processing — on time, every time — to maintain consistent data for all interacting mission-critical applications and processes.

Policy — A broad spectrum of security measures improve governance and lower the cost of compliance.

• Safeguard critical business information exchange over the Internet with support for multiple security protocols, policy-based encryption, data integrity checking, and guaranteed delivery.
• Securely exchange files with customers and partners who have different regulatory requirements, encryption policies, and processes for adopting file transfer products.
• Ensure that user connections are strongly authenticated — whether the user makes infrequent transfers via a Web browser or endpoint client or uses client automation for batch and scheduled transfers.
• Prevent storage of sensitive information in the DMZ, adding another layer of security to data as it flows into your enterprise from the Internet and out of your enterprise through your firewall.
• Maintain complete audit trails to demonstrate compliance with regulations that require audit of processes, security, and access, including SOX, HIPAA, PCI, MHLW, EMEA, and GLBA. Dashboard-level visibility streamlines compliance with your customers’ security and privacy policies as well as your own.

Community — Robust community management capabilities help you quickly establish and manage secure connections within your organization, and with your community of partners and customers.

• Close the gap between business relationship management and technical connectivity to provide a differentiated experience and acquire customers faster.
• Create a branded trading community that replaces VANs and VPNs, requires little or no configuration, deploys in just minutes, and has minimal management requirements.
• Make it easy for customers and partners to join and "live" in your community with automated provisioning capabilities that enable rapid on-boarding of new members without involving IT.
• Assign policies that govern the flow of information and grant community members permission to keep tabs on the events that matter to them.
• Take advantage of Axway managed services for customer enrollment, provisioning of communication endpoints to customers, and more.
