Safe-T Enterprise File Transfer: Key Capabilities

Secured file transfer: multiple security measures to protect your data

To meet even the most stringent file transfer security standards, Safe-T includes multiple features designed to help you ensure that your organization’s sensitive data, knowledge, and information will be shared only with the intended recipients.

• Secured links

  Safe-T's end-to-end approach to file security means that all files are uploaded, stored, and downloaded through secure links. The system authenticates each recipient before granting access to transferred files, ensuring that only the intended end user will be able to view your sensitive data.

• Password

  For additional security and peace of mind, one-time passwords (OTP) can be generated and sent in a separate email to the recipient in order to grant access to the file.

• Encryption

  Powerful file-level encryption encrypts each file and prohibits access, opening, or usage by non-authorized users.

• Expiration

  Users can choose to set an expiration date for transferred files, after which the files will not be available for download.

• Number of Downloads Limit

  The availability of sent files can be limited to a controlled number of downloads.

• Secured Transport

  Safe-T uses secured protocols (such as: HTTPS, FTPS, SFTP) to protect files while in transmission.

• Advanced tracking and audit trail capabilities

  Easily maintain comprehensive records of your organization’s file transfer activities with Safe-T. The program documents key “where, what, who, and when” tracking data for each transferred file. Comprehensive download tracking information is also available, with logs that record the date, time, and IP address of each instance of file access and download.

• DMZ front-end

  Safe-T's optional DMZ front-end configuration delivers the highest possible protection against infiltration.

Sending large files directly from within Outlook or from a web interface

File transfer can't get any easier than this. Business users can send large files securely from directly within Outlook using a non-disruptive plug-in. Alternatively, users can send files with Safe-T’s simple web user interface that is available from any Internet-enables computer. Either way, we’ve made the file transfer process streamlined, simple, and intuitive enough for every business user to navigate with ease and confidence.

• Intuitive Outlook plug-in

  This simple application is very easy to use and allows users to send any file directly from Outlook, the communications tool of choice in most organizations. This utility works with no disruption and requires little or no training to operate, yet it's packed with a generous array of file transfer options, tracking capabilities, and management controls.

• Friendly Web user interface

  This eminently simple and readily accessible option requires no installation, is available from any Internet-enabled computer, and meets all of your mission-critical requirements for file-transfer security, reliability, and auditing.

• Powerful and flexible sending options

  According to the permissions assigned by the system administrator, business users can choose from a full slate of sending options to customize the security measures for each transferred file. Available options include one-time passwords, file expiration dates, and limits on the number of downloads.

• Self-managed tracking

  Whether with the Outlook plug-in or the web interface, business users have access to a range of automatic file-level tracking capabilities. Users can request automated delivery receipt as well as tracking information regarding the exact time at which the files were downloaded by recipients.

Send or receive secure files of unlimited size both inside and outside the enterprise

Today’s business environment demands ongoing communication between firms and their partners, clients, and suppliers. The Safe-T managed file transfer system offers a platform for secure and reliable transfer of your most sensitive data, without the limitations and size restrictions that other methods impose. With Safe-T, you can easily send or receive secure files of unlimited size both inside and outside the enterprise.

• Unlimited files or folders size

  With the Safe-T file transfer system, there is absolutely no limit on the size of the files or folders that you transfer. The only size limit that applies is the policy set by the system administrator as part of the system's permission and policy configuration. Business users can choose to send multiple files in one click, or to transfer an entire folder. What’s more, users can streamline batch transfers by selecting an entire folder and then filtering out certain files that don’t need to be sent. The large files are offloaded from the email system, thereby avoiding the frustrating bottlenecks that can be caused by sending large files through email. By choosing Safe-T for your large file transfer needs, you’ll also avoid file duplication and reduce attachment storage and bandwidth consumption.

• Send to recipients inside or outside the enterprise

  With Safe-T, file recipients don’t need to install any software, pre-register, or even be notified prior to the file transfer process. This unparalleled ease-of-use makes Safe-T an excellent solution for secure ad-hoc file transfers in the multi-site, distributed enterprise.

• Secure file returns from external users

  In today’s global and heavily networked business world, effortless collaboration and bidirectional communication are crucial for success. With Safe-T, external users who are not part of your enterprise (such as partners, suppliers, or customers) can easily and securely send files back to you without having to install any software. Safe-T facilitates easy, safe, and secure file transfer, communication and collaboration -- without the hassle.

Powerful and Flexible Management Capabilities

Don’t be fooled by its ease of use and user-friendliness: Safe-T provides powerful management and audit capabilities that will help you control and manage every aspect of the enterprise's managed and secured file transfer needs.

IT managers can achieve complete flexibility when it comes to defining new users and groups, assigning permissions and policies, and instantly generating detailed reports and audit trails.

• Robust and open platform

  Safe-T is based on a robust, enterprise-grade platform that is powerful and flexible enough to meet the stringent IT requirements of the medium to large enterprise. With its state-of-the-art Open API capabilities, Safe-T enables users to achieve easy and seamless integration with existing infrastructure and third-party systems.

• Users and groups

  To facilitate quick and efficient setup and to gain maximum flexibility in setting role-based policies, Safe-T integrates seamlessly with directory services, such as LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory.

• Permissions and policies

  One of Safe-T's key strengths is the complete flexibility to set permissions and policies for defined user groups. Security-related policy options include one-time passwords, file encryption, file expiration dates, and limits on the number of file downloads. Operation-related policy options include bandwidth limits, file-type limits, and more. If selected, IT staff can choose to have some or all of these security features enforced automatically in certain situations. In addition, IT personnel can elect to delegate some, none, or all of the file transfer options to each user.

• Reporting and Audit trail capabilities

  To facilitate compliance with industry and government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and FDA, Safe-T delivers complete and detailed file-level audit trail information that tracks the movements of each transferred file. The program documents key “where, what, who, and when” tracking data for each transferred file. Comprehensive download tracking information is also available, with logs that record the date, time, and IP address of each instance of file access and download.
  
  A menu of common reports is available out of the box, while a reporting wizard allows you easily to generate fully customized reports.

Speedy and Seamless Implementation

Today’s fast-paced business environment demands continuous improvement with as little disruption or downtime as possible. If a new product is cumbersome, complicated, or requires a lengthy installation process, the gains you can achieve by implementing a new managed file transfer system will be offset by serious declines in productivity and efficiency. That’s why we designed every aspect of the Safe-T system with easy installation and seamless implementation in mind.

• Seamless Migration

  Safe-T fits into your existing system infrastructure with no disruption and no downtime. It was designed from the ground up to smoothly integrate into existing enterprise network infrastructure and to intelligently leverage -- rather than duplicate – your existing systems. If your firm currently relies on FTP for file transfer, there’s no need to plan for a time-consuming and unwieldy changeover. The migration from FTP to Safe-T requires no changes in architecture or system applications, so the entire process is simple and fast.

• Phased Implementation

  With Safe-T, you don’t have to plan for an organization-wide switch. Instead, you can design a phased implementation process that meshes with your workflow and makes sense in the context of your organization. You can even continue to use Safe-T in tandem with your existing FTP solution with no interruptions and no system configuration conflicts.

• Up and running within hours

  It takes only hours to fully implement the Safe-T managed file transfer system. The streamlined and user-friendly interface requires only minimal training. You’ll have your entire staff well-versed in the basics of the system and ready to hit the ground running in no time at all.

  Safe-T’s unique design allows it to be deployed quickly and cost-effectively in single site, multi-site, or distributed enterprises.

• Custom branding

  Take your brand identity to the next level with Safe-T’s optional custom branding capabilities. If you choose, Safe-T's web-based user interface can be custom-branded to match the corporate identity of your enterprise. Custom branding allows you to incorporate your company's logo and visual identity for a professional look and enhanced message consistency.
