About Managed File Transfer

Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a software product that provides organisations with a holistic solution to their file transfer needs. MFT solutions often include:

  • Managing file transfer processes
  • Provisioning 3rd parties (a.k.a “trading partners”)
  • Monitoring of file-transfer activity
  • Secure communications (Session encryption, protocols)
  • Security services (Encryption, audit, authentication, etc…)
  • Delivery services (Resume/Restart, delivery verification, compression)

The main focus of MFT solutions is

  • Business process enablement
  • Manageability of file transfer processes
  • And obviously security…

The MFT market consists of many vendors providing a large set of solutions. In general, MFT solutions can be categorised to the following types:

  • Internal MFT - Moving files internally, between systems or branches (mostly automated)
  • External MFT - Distributing data to or collecting data from 3rd parties, mostly for processing purposes, mostly automated
  • Ad-hoc MFT - People sending files to each other
    - One-time/ad-hoc relationship vs. pre-defined/long term relationship
  • Collaborative MFT - Check-in/Check-out kind of activity, similar to sharing a file via a file-server
  • Cyber-Ark's IBV addresses all types of MFT, and this is one of its competitive advantages.
