This combination is a game-changer for industries dealing with massive, sensitive files: Media & Entertainment : Sending high-res video dailies without risking leaks. Healthcare
Clearswift inspects the files for threats and sensitive data.
: UK Ministry of Defence sharing intelligence between security domains. Solution : The solution supports "Two Person Integrity" for policy changes and mandatory cross-domain filtering via ICAP. Outcome : Meets DefStan05-138 and DCPP standards, ensuring that only sanitized, safe files cross security boundaries.
The technology has been integrated into Fortra's as the GoFast module, which can be purchased as an add-on for high-speed transfers. clearswift filecatalyst
The solution addresses regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ITAR) automatically. The Deep Content Inspection engine acts as an automated gatekeeper, removing the reliance on employees to correctly identify and secure sensitive files.
modifies content in real time as it is analyzed. Metadata, revision history, document properties, and other hidden information—including executables, images, and structural data—can be transparently removed to protect critical information. For example, Clearswift can detect an image, analyze it, and redact any sensitive information, allowing the safe file to continue to its recipient even if the image was embedded in a Word document or ZIP file.
If your organization is struggling with file transfer bottlenecks, it might be time to upgrade your engine. This combination is a game-changer for industries dealing
For defense agencies that cannot tolerate data leaks, media companies that cannot abide transfer delays, and regulated industries that must demonstrate compliance, the Clearswift + FileCatalyst integration offers an unmatched solution. Files move at blistering speeds across global networks, while every byte is inspected, sanitized, and redacted in real time—all without stopping the flow of business.
The result is that communications continue unhindered, but any content that could cause a data breach or cyber‑attack is sanitized before it ever reaches its destination.
The integration of with FileCatalyst’s high-speed file transfer technology solves this dilemma. This partnership delivers a powerful solution that combines unprecedented transfer speeds with robust, adaptive security. 1. The Need for Speed and Security Solution : The solution supports "Two Person Integrity"
Organizations currently using Aspera, Signiant, or IBM Sterling often hesitate to switch. However, Clearswift FileCatalyst provides a distinct advantage:
Traditional file transfer protocols rely on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). While reliable, TCP is inherently inefficient over long distances with high latency. The "TCP Throughput Bottleneck" dictates that as latency increases, throughput drops significantly, regardless of available bandwidth. For media, engineering, and healthcare organizations moving terabytes of data, standard FTP is operationally viable.
The new cloud-based service offers consumption-based pricing, allowing organizations to pay only for the computing hours used or the amount of data transferred. This eliminates the need for upfront enterprise costs while providing full enterprise functionality.
