Axway Expands File Transfer Capabilities to Support Digital Business Initiatives

As the use of unauthorized software, including cloud-based file sharing, grows in the enterprise, organizations expose themselves to business risks such as data loss, damage, and lack of visibility. This can ultimately lead to loss of customer trust and compliance fines and penalties, as well as loss of revenue. Axway (Euronext : AXW.PA), a market leader in governing the flow of data, today announced enhancements to Axway SecureTransport, the industry’s most comprehensive Managed File Transfer (MFT) gateway.

The latest release of Axway SecureTransport, which is part of the Axway 5 Suite, supports traditional and emerging digital business use cases with built-in acceleration of large files across geography and network, and with REST APIs to integrate file transfer functionality into new and innovative applications. The update also supports the speed of digital business by enabling end users and teams to initiate both embedded and ad hoc file transfers and improve collaboration in shared folders regardless of protocol, across both mobile and cloud environments, while maintaining corporate governance. Furthermore, the latest release supports and integrates with corporate data loss prevention (DLP) and antivirus strategies to help safeguard customer trust and company revenue.

With Axway SecureTransport 5.3, organizations are now equipped to support employee-initiated exchange of data to:

• Support digital business without interruption: With growing data volumes, sources and types, driven by digital initiatives, customers benefit from embedded acceleration, capacity and scalability as they move data across geographies, networks and applications, ensuring business continuity. Additionally, REST APIs allow businesses to add MFT capabilities to emerging use cases, including new applications and business processes.
• Drive employee productivity with self-service: By empowering employees to share data and initiate embedded and ad hoc file transfers, businesses can increase efficiency and promote collaboration between individuals and teams at the speed of business without the need for third-party file sharing solutions.
• Protect against threats: Allowing users to share files with end-to-end visibility and compliance ensures data transfer is managed securely and with confidence. The ability to delegate administration share folders with control over who can view or modify files offers organizations the benefit of additional governance.

"The drive for innovation and push towards digital business creates challenges for enterprises as they look to securely manage exponential growth in volumes of data,” said Dean Hidalgo, executive vice president, global marketing, Axway. "With the latest enhancements to Axway SecureTransport, customers can feel confident in knowing they no longer have to turn to unauthorized solutions to share data, drive collaboration and improve business agility – and can realize the benefits that digital business delivers.”

Recently Axway’s MFT solution once again earned "Champion” status in Info-Tech Research Group’s Managed File Transfer Vendor Landscape report.¹ The report evaluated MFT solutions and examined vendors that offer broad capabilities across multiple platforms and have a strong market and reputational presence among medium and large-sized enterprises. Additionally, Axway received a "Best In Class” designation for "Role Based Security” due to its data flow governance capabilities.
