FTP Replacement
Media and entertainment companies understand that File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has many file transfer performance and security deficiencies, yet a surprising number of companies continue to rely upon it. Used for file transfer since the 1970s, FTP transmitted data is unencrypted and potentially visible to anyone who can monitor the network’s traffic. Security enhancements such as File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) adds security and performance enhancements, but many firewalls have problems and deployment often fails. Increasingly, rogue actors target FTP because of its unsecured entry points, putting businesses at risk. In addition, a host of FTP architectural challenges constrict speed, increase latency and deliver unreliable performance, among other media-centric necessities, further adding to FTP’s risk factors.
Fixing all of the FTP, FTPS and SFTP problems cost businesses time and money. Scaling with any of them is complex, limits flexibility and hinders business opportunities. Thousands of companies during the pandemic learned the hard way when they need to scale, be flexible, and increase their security, FTP was not up to the challenge, and their companies suffered.
