Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices
As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.
In this presentation, you will:
- Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
- Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
- Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
- Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders

10 Simple Rules for Implementing an Encryption Strategy
Organizations are becoming more and more proactive about data security, with data encryption viewed as a core element to their defensive measures.
Encryption of data is being adopted at a rapid rate to comply with industry regulations, protect intellectual property, obtain safe harbor from data breachdisclosure laws, and effectively manage risk. As encryption proliferates, IT professionals are making critical decisions that directly contribute to, or detract from, an organization's ability to effectively manage encryption keys and data security.
Data is an organization's most valuable asset and it must be protected.
Designing and implementing an encryption strategy is not complicated if you understand the needs of your organization and establish the right decision-making criteria for encryption solutions. Simplicity, breadth, manageability and efficiency are the primary requirements security-minded organizations must build into their encryption strategy. A solution that has the least complexity will make the jobs of IT professionals easier, be more cost-effective and time-efficient, while at the same time protecting data and meeting compliance standards.

Real Business Threats! Don’t be a Hacker’s Unsuspecting Target
It’s not news that threats are growing across the IT security landscape. Today’s malware imposes significant business risks due to the highly organized nature of attacks – applications, web sites and social networks are all subject to attacks and vulnerabilities. Hackers are highly organized professionals with vast networks who are able to precisely target an unsuspecting victim, including many small businesses and their employees. Users may not even realize his/her machine has been compromised for days, weeks or even months due to the nature of these attacks. During this talk, Mark Villinski will examine what this means for business owners and what IT managers need to look for to stay on top of these threats.
Mark Villinski brings more than 12 years of technology sales and marketing experience to Kaspersky. Mark leads Field Marketing efforts for the East Coast and is responsible for increasing awareness and demand for Kaspersky’s Open Space Security Produce Line. Prior to joining Kaspersky, Mark served as Director of Worldwide Channel Operations for Enterasys Networks, where he was responsible for the strategy and day to day operation of the Secure Advantage Partner Program. Prior to that role he held a number of channel and field marketing roles at Enterasys and Cabletron Systems. He started his high tech career in sales at Cabletron Systems. |
