Learn How to Improve the Security, Visibility and Performance of Your B2B File Transfers, While Protecting Your Internal Networks from Risks Associated with Internet-Based File Transfers

Featuring Senior Technology Leaders from IBM and Oxford Consulting Group

File transfers between companies continue to increase as companies expand their B2B relationships. As a result they are faced with supporting higher volumes of file transfers, various sizes and formats, numerous communications and security protocols, and tighter timeframes for onboarding business partners. Companies using the Internet as the basis for file transfer exchanges will continue to struggle under these conditions, impacted by:

Increased security risks to their networks and data
High risk of file transfer failure
Security and compliance audit failures
Lack of visibility over their file transfer activity and SLAs
Increasing time and costs to onboard and troubleshoot trading partner file transfers
A proliferation of unmanaged file transfer servers and operational inefficiencies
